About this site
Baixa Do Noroeste lies off the northwest coast of Madeira, an Atlantic island belonging to Portugal known for volcanic seabed formations rising from deep water. The site sits over a rocky bottom and reaches a maximum depth of around 50 metres, which puts it in technical diving territory. Sites in this stretch of coastline are typically reached by boat from nearby harbours along Madeira's north shore, and divers have also flagged boat traffic as a hazard to watch for here.
