Dives Brasil DVD series


Project Dives Brazil
When it comes to researching your upcoming underwater experiences before you go, or re-living them after you’ve come home, a DVD can be handy. This is exactly how the DVD’s from Dives Brasil can be useful. The three titles out so far are a mix of a documentary and tourist commercials.
Project Dives Brazil is distributed and marketed (national and international) by MEDIA RIGHTS www.mediarights.com.br.

These DVDs do not only give you an impression about the diving, but they start with some general footage and information about the area. Ranging from the local food, culture and architecture to tourist sights. Some of the places are also shown with aerial images. Even though not all of the underwater filming is of cinematic quality, it’s made by local divers and a producers who know the sites well. Ranging from 35 to 90 minutes, the films are probably more fun to show to your friends, than the good old photo album, screen or paper. No great secrets revealed but informative films.

The major obstacle for non-Portuguese speakers, is that none of the three titles available at the moment come in English. Although that is to change. The Project Dives Brazil is planning to produce a further 14 titles covering the Brazilian cost from north to south. And future titles are planned to include seven different languages, either by narration or subtitles.

The three titles available now:
Parcel Manoel Luis (Maranhão)
This is a coral reef in open ocean which has an unimaginable abundance of wrecks. The DVD shows a great reef with a rich marine life and some fantastic
wrecks. It also gives you an impression of how difficult it is to get there. The pay off is, you’re alone on the reef.

Ceará
This DVD takes you diving out of Fortaleza. The grand prize here is diving the wreck on a 120-meter cargoship, which was sunk by a German submarine during
WWII.

Archipelago of Fernando de Noronha
The DVD gives you a nice aerial overview before you roam the island. The longest of the DVDs has spared a lot of time to enjoy the underwater experience of the island. One of Brazil’s top dive sites can never get enough justice on a DVD. So, consider this as small taste of what’s to
