it is possible to make private
arrangements with a boat owner leaving from one of the marinas
around joatinga, as the voyage from here is only 5-10 minutes,
but negotiations of this nature would be made on an individual
basis only.
commonly sighted sea creatures
include turtles, stingrays, moray eels, and a plethora of fish.
the depth here varies between 6 and 30
meters - as it is also the closest island to the mouth of
guanabara bay, boat traffic is a factor to be taken into
consideration.
