Nascente Azul (Blue Spring) is a place where one of Bonito MS Brazil's key snorkeling activities happens. Lago da Capela (Chapel's Lake) is an area within the same place, where you can spend the day before and/or after snorkeling. The place also has a restaurant, so it is possible to spend all day there and even have a delicious lunch to go with it all!
Aside from the lake's free play options, Lago da Capela also has a new scuba diving experience geared towards those who have never gone diving before. The diving happens right there in the lake, near the main areas, changing rooms, and all facilities. It is the perfect place for a first time diver!
Because the depth is the same as that of any regular discovery or baptism dive, people who have gone diving before and/or pick it all up quickly will have a full experience. The feeling you get when you notice that you are breathing under water and seeing fish in their own environment is unmatched! The lake has tons of species of fish and good visibility.
Be sure to seize this opportunity to experience something new!
