Turquoise-blue water, a fascinating underwater world, and first-class service—Atlantis Divers on Fernando de Noronha offers all this and more. The renowned dive centre on the Brazilian archipelago takes divers to the most spectacular spots in the Atlantic. Whether beginner or experienced diver, everyone here experiences unforgettable moments underwater.
The dive centre Atlantis Divers
Atlantis Divers was founded in 1994 and has since established itself as one of the leading dive companies in Brazil. The base on Fernando de Noronha has modern diving equipment and several dedicated dive boats—including spacious catamarans specifically built for dive trips. Safety and quality are top priorities: the equipment is regularly maintained, the staff are highly trained, and all dives are professionally organised. The multilingual team (English, Portuguese, and Spanish) supports divers of all experience levels—from beginners to professionals—with great commitment and local expertise.
Daily trips with Atlantis Divers take you to various dive sites around the island. In small groups, you explore colourful coral reefs, rock walls, or even special spots like underwater caves. Night dives or wreck dives to a sunken ship are also available upon request. Beginners can experience the magic of Noronha on a guided introductory dive, while experienced divers can participate in more challenging deep and drift dives—always accompanied by the attentive guides from the base.
Fernando de Noronha – a protected island paradise
Fernando de Noronha is a remote archipelago about 350 km off the Brazilian coast and is considered one of Brazil’s most beautiful dive destinations. The main island and surrounding islets are strictly protected as a marine reserve and are part of the UNESCO World Heritage. Thanks to year-round warm waters (around 26–28°C) and visibility of up to 50 metres, divers find ideal conditions. The underwater landscape is also impressive: volcanic rock formations, arches, and even a sunken shipwreck provide varied dives. Only a limited number of visitors are allowed on the island daily, which helps preserve the sensitive ecosystems. Underwater, divers are greeted by a vibrant diversity: from colourful schools of fish to rays and sea turtles, and even dolphins—the waters around Noronha teem with life.
Diving with sharks on Fernando de Noronha
For many divers, the sharks around Fernando de Noronha are an absolute highlight. The waters are considered a nursery for some species: young lemon sharks and nurse sharks grow up in the protected bays of the archipelago. Reef sharks are frequently encountered on dives, and with a bit of luck, you might even see larger species. Even tiger sharks or hammerheads have been sighted here—though rarely.
Despite their impressive presence, the sharks of Noronha are not considered aggressive towards divers. Under the expert guidance of Atlantis Divers, visitors can observe these elegant predators up close without disturbing them. It’s an unforgettable experience to look a passing shark in the eye and follow its calm movements. Such encounters foster respect for marine life and make every dive a special adventure.
Atlantis Divers combines professional service with the natural beauty of Fernando de Noronha. The result is unforgettable diving experiences—from playful dolphins at the water’s surface to majestic sharks in the depths. A dive at this special place will certainly remain in your memory forever.
