Pedra do Anzol

Depth (min. - max.): -14 to -16 meters
Type of diving: natural reef
Snorkeling: No


• Site Characteristics:
Rocky outcrop, plateau type and hook shaped about 150 meters long. The interest of the dive is on the edge of the stone, a very jagged, with many cracks. From here you can also reach the Pedra da Pirâmide and Rodão dos Mulatos, two rocky outcrops that are part of the Anzol system, extending further west.

• Fauna:

Variety of small fish including bibs, groupers, wrasses and damselfish. It is common to see breams holed up in several nooks and crannies. Moray and conger eels are very abundant. Several groups of invertebrates are represented, like octopuses, various nudibranchs, crabs, beautiful Ceriantius and Spirographs.

• Diving Tips:
The anchor of the boat is positioned slightly away from the massive and around the burrow of Napoleon. Start the dive by following the contours of the noth side of the rock. A little farther to west, you'll find the "arena", a circular area, almost closed. Continue to following the same side of the stone to west, exploring the nooks and crannies of the slope. The "mark", a rock detached from the rest of the plateau, marks the trail to be followed if you want, and still have return air, to west made up of small stones that will take you to the Pirâmid and the Rodão dos Mulatos.
