The João Lopes bank is constituted by a low. Its top is to approximately 14mts deep and falls to 40mts.
We can expect moderate to strong currents as it is far from the coast. For this reason we recommend this dive only to experienced divers.
The marine life that we can observe at this spot consists of Groupers, Kingfish, Queenfish, Salemas, etc.
This low has slopes and vertical walls and levels, in the quota of 20mts, ideal places to be watching the shoals of Pelagic fish that walk there in the "blue", such as the Amberjacks, Mackerel, Jacks, big Groupers and Manta rays.
