Diving in Paraty Brasil

[Parklander]

I am visiting friends and family in Paraty for New Years. Anyone have any recommendations or experiences diving in or near Paraty?

I found this company: Mergulho em Paraty | UNA DIVE

I haven't dived in Brazil.
If you read the "depoimentos", it says they (una dive) are the only dive operation in Paraty.
Maybe you know Portuguese. If not, the comments from customers of theirs all rave about what a great operation they are, but hardly anyone says much about the underwater scenery, and the pictures they post don't show much of interest. The dives appear to be shallow and short.
You might check out diving off ilha Grande. I looked into that once, sounds like the diving might be better, but again, I haven't dived there.
Enjoy your trip.

Many thanks!

Did you end up going, Parklander? I've dived with pretty much everyone other than Una in Paraty - they're certainly not the only ones - so curious if you have some experience to report. I don't disagree that the dives in Paraty are usually shallow, short and not particularly scenic; it's more a place to get wet between caipirinhas than a real dive destination.
