nog wat meer info (afstand mainland/eiland):
Fernando del Noronha is a Brazilian nature reserve/resort, used almost exclusively by Brazilian scuba divers. It is 300 miles from mainland Brazil. The island is very small, so after a 3-hour drive along the dirt roads, the only thing left to do is dive. Evidently they have excellent diving among sea turtles, porpoises, rays, and sharks. From the cliff sides, we could count as many as six dive boats passing in front of the bay, returning from a day of diving.
