About this site
Arcos Da Formosinha is a dive site made up of a volcanic landscape of lava arches, with depths running from 10 to 18 metres and an advanced rating.
Among the arches and volcanic formations, divers meet guelly jacks and breams in the water, while stingrays, moray eels and nudibranchs are also seen around the rock, which makes the site more than just a geological curiosity.
