Traveling to Salvador Brazil, looking to dive

[Rolf]

I reciently purchased a piece of land in Praia Do Forte Bahia Brazil (North of Salvador) and had a house built there. Have a vacation planned for April and as usual all vacations must include diving. Does anyone on here know of diving in the Salvador Bahia Brazil area? I know the snorkeling is great in Praia Do Forte but I have a need for bottom time.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Anyone looking to vacation in Brazil, I will be renting the beach front 4 suite house starting in June 2006.

Thanks

Rolf

Good to have you here. Click here to PM me if I can help you get started in our various forums.

I have done great dives in Salvador, Bahia.
Don't miss the dive at CAVO ARTHEMIDIS. It's the biggest or one of the biggest wrecks in Brazil. A 180m ship wreck, not too far from the coast of Salvador.
I have done that dive 3 times in different times I were in the city. In a clear visibility day it's amazing!
