Hey,
You can find the information on the
Ilha Grande Rio de Janeiro Angra Brazil
There are a lot of useful information and I spent 6 days on the Ilha grande during Carnival, very nice place.

there are mainly two diving centers:ELITE DIVE CENTER and DIVE & CIA ILHA GRANDE,
as far as I know, ELITE DIVE CENTER have two instructors and two divemasters, DIVE & CIA ILHA GRANDE just have two divemasters.
But the quotation of DIVE & CIA ILHA GRANDE(about R$135~150 per day, 2 dive, all the equipments and one free dive-record CD) is cheaper than ELITE DIVE CENTER(about R$ 160~190 per day, 2 dive, all the equipments).
You can check and decide by yourself.

Have fun and dive safe.
 
The places mentioned above are great places to dive but if you are short on time. I recommend Mar do Rio at Marina do Gloria in Rio. They do trips on Friday, Sat and Sun to the nearby islands. Very professional operation and some great people to dive with.
Mar do Rio
They water is not always as nice as Arrial or Angra but Marina do Gloria is only a short cab ride from downtime Rio. Can message me before you come down maybe I can meet you there for a dive.
