Sea Paradise

Located at Praia do Porto, Sea Paradise offers a perspective on Fernando de Noronha that moves beyond the standard tourist routes. The centre was founded by Fernando Rodrigues, known locally as Cabeção, following 16 years of dedicated underwater exploration in these waters.

Rather than sticking solely to the most crowded spots, the school specialises in finding unique sites that reveal a different side of the island's marine life. This approach ensures that even experienced divers can find something new beneath the surface.

The team is composed of expert instructors dedicated to providing structured, safe, and professional training. Whether you are here for a discovery dive or a technical certification, you are guided by professionals with deep local knowledge.

The school follows a methodical approach to every outing. Your session begins with a structured briefing under a tent, followed by equipment preparation and a practice session in shallow water before heading out to the dive sites.

Sea Paradise offers a full spectrum of training, starting with introductory 'Mergulho de batismo' sessions for those new to the water. They also provide formal scuba diving courses for those looking to earn their certifications.

Whether you are starting your journey or looking to advance your skills, the instruction is focused on delivering high-quality, technical competence in a professional environment.

The centre provides a full range of rental equipment for divers who prefer not to carry their own kit. This includes everything from regulators and BCDs to fins and masks.

For those looking to extend their bottom time, the facility is equipped to handle your training and exploration needs, ensuring all kit is ready for your departure from Praia do Porto.

The reefs and plateaus of the area are home to a vast array of species. You will encounter various reef fish, including angelfish (Pomacanthidae), sergeant majors, and surgeonfish (Acanthuridae). Larger residents such as groupers (Epinephelinae), trevally, and various species of jacks are also common.

For those interested in larger pelagics, the area supports sightings of sharks and rays. You may see stingrays (Myliobatiformes), eagle rays (Aetobatus), and potentially sand tiger sharks.

In the shallower sections and reef flats, you can find turtles (Cheloniidae) and a variety of coral species, including brain coral (Diploria).

Macro life enthusiasts can look for the coconut octopus, seahorses, and nudibranchs (Chromodoris willani) among the rocks and corals.

Diving in the area involves various environments, from shallow reef flats to deep walls and wreck sites. The choice of site depends on your certification level and the specific topography of the seabed.
