From SportDiver Planet’s 50 Greatest Dives, #13 Brazil’s Fernando de Noronha is an off-the-radar paradise for travelers and divers. Perched at the top of a volcanic submarine mountain, the 18-island archipelago lies 224 miles from mainland Brazil, and that isolation translates directly to many pristine dive sites. Pedras Secas in the Mar de Fora, or the Outer Sea, is a warren of tunnels and canyons, featuring a rocky bottom covered with sea life. Rock formations rise to the surface, constantly punished by the undulations of the persistent waves. A 55-foot tunnel, lined with sponges and corals, gives way to a canyon filled with schools of grunts, black margates, squirrelfish and big trevally. — Kadu Pinheiro
