About Banco João Lopes

This is a very popular cave dive that can be found next to the bay of Anjos. Again, like many other dives on this island, this site is made up of bassalt rock and torrents drainings. This created a beautiful cave that allows easy penetration and hides large amounts of fish. A great dive.
