Kev7:Has anyone been diving around Aracaju Brazil, just South of Sao Paulo?? And if so can you give me some info.... very much appreciated....Kevin
yes I am refering to Aracaju in the state of Sergipe, I think. Are there 2 Aracaju or more maybe around Rio De janeiro??? I looked up google earth search and it showed Aracaju South of Sao Paulo but looked at www.mytravelguide.com map and it shows it North like you said....but again I think its in the State of Sergipe that I am talking about as well. ...........Thanks Kevinmiketsp:Kevin, could you confirm your question. I live in São Paulo and I don't know of any town called Aracaju just to the south within the state of São Paulo. I just checked my local road map and couldn't find it.
There is a well known place called Aracaju up in the North East, in the state of Sergipe (SE), about 2173km from São Paulo.
Now there is a place called Morro de São Paulo up in the North East, state of Bahia (BA) close to Salvador, with some good diving but Aracaju (SE) is to the North of this.

amport:Mike,
I will be coming to Sao Paulo in about a week.
A friend and I will go to Ilhabela for the week end.
Can you tell me what kind of water temperature to expect?
Should I bring my 5MM or 3MM wetsuit?
Do they use DIN or Yoke connectors on their tanks?
My friend is a new diver and does know the answers to these questions.
I really thank you for any help you can give me,
Roy
amport:Mike,
Thanks for the help. Your info was very helpful.
I went diving for 2 days with True Blue out of Buzios. That is a 2 hour drive outside of Rio. The diving was great but you were right about needing at least a 5mm 2 piece wet suit. I even used a hood on a few dives. I saw what looked like flying fish, big wings with blue markings. No one spoke English but they called them something like cardios. I know they were not flying fish. Never saw any like them in the Caribbean. Very cool fish.
This is a lame trip report I know but I never claimed to be a writer. Enjoy diving in Brazil I know I did.
