The main thing to keep in mind is that there are a huge amount of divers around the world who at home can't see their diving buddy because of the mud in the water or the grime.
I worked on a Scuba diving base for 6 years while I was a student. After my 3000'th dive, I stopped logging them. By that time (I was 21) I was "slightly" bored with the same old dive locations - my colleagues and I had names for all the fish. We knew where all the fish were, when they were most likely to be there and if they weren't there where they were likely to be. Not all the marine life mind you but the sedentary ones like Moray eels, Conger eels, Mero, Groupers, Octopus etc
However (and the point of the story) although we were bored out of our skull and spent our time on land reading magazines and dreaming of dive sites in the Caribbean, Egypt and Australia, every single client who came to the island to dive said it was breathtaking. All of them said that it was one of the best places in Europe to dive. Yet we watched videos and photos of more exotic destinations and thought that it was boring.
So saying "Maracaju has a few fish" may mean that someone from Egypt or Australia or Maldives would consider it a bit dissapointing, but someone from the largest tourism diving communities like the UK, Scandinavia, Germany and Italy would probably be quite impressed.
