About this site
This dive site off Madeira's coast features clear Atlantic waters with excellent visibility. The rocky reef slopes gently, offering shelter to colorful marine life like damselfish, parrotfish, and moray eels. Schools of barracuda often patrol the area, while octopuses hide among the crevices. The site's volcanic formations create interesting swim-throughs and overhangs. Depths range from 10 to 25 meters, suitable for most divers. Currents are usually mild, making it ideal for relaxed exploration. The warm waters attract diverse species year-round, with occasional sightings of rays and groupers.
