The dive school I am with visit Angra do Reis periodically. This was my first experience and also my first time on vacation in Brazil. Loved it. We flew into Rio and the hotel arranged for us to be picked up in a mini-bus for the 2 and half hour trip down to the resort. The had a range of rooms, I had chosen a single room, but in the end I got a lovely room, with a balcony and garden view, double bed, en-suite and air-con. Very comfortable. Came with a fridge and cable tv too. Internet in the room was a bit hit n miss, but in other areas of the hotel it was excellent and fast. The friendly staff were very helpful. Our package included the stay, buffet breakfast and evening meal - where the food was to a high standard. Then 5 days of boat diving with local guides. Equipment can be rented there, we took our own. Everyone from the cleaning staff to the dive guides always had a cheery outlook and a smile on their faces. Diving was great, we saw dolphins, turtles, sea horses, loads of fish and coral. We dived a couple of wrecks and the night dive was an optional extra. The last day we had free to explore or hang around the pool. We ended up snorkelling in the bay. Excellent facilities. We wanted for nothing. I didn't ever leave the hotel. The drinks from the fridge/mini-bar were affordable so I never considered venturing out. Other rooms I understand had even cooking facilities. Excellent and well recommended.

We dive for 3 days, beautiful places, a very good diving club, friendly and responsive staff, a great team and excellent guides. Good equipment and ship! I recommend it to all !!!
Thank you for the beautiful rest !!!

I tried to dive with Jamanta but it was simply impossible. First they ask you for a credit card via phone. When you are finally able to convince them they do not show up in your hotel and claim that they thought that what we had booked was a baptism dive, not a real dive. Really disappointed at them.
