Rio Prata, Bonito, Brazil

Went to a place called Bonito in Brazil, it is famous for its fresh water snorkelling. You can do all sorts of different snorkelling and scuba diving around this area in some of the clearest water in the world. Some of the options such as the abseil into a cave followed by scuba diving were expensive so I opted for a river float which was well worth the money. We floated down stream letting the current carry us for two hours and saw some amazing sites. During this trip the river wasn't deep but you were not allowed to touch the bottom to ensure the surroundings were not ruined. Was a really good day out!



Showing my appreciation of the scenery!

Saw plenty of fish along the way. Just one of the many little schools!

This fulla was pretty damn ugly. Was the only type of fish I was afraid might tear me apart. He was pretty big and had a good set of teeth on him.


One of the many springs as we floated down stream.

More fish. We saw so many different species and there was no point when there wasn't a fish within sight. Most of the fish got close enough to you to touch them also.

The surroundings we had to deal with. Not only were the fish awesome but so was the rest of the underwater scenery.

Pretty stoaked about our day!
