About this site
Galo is a cave dive site along the coast of Madeira, the volcanic Portuguese island in the North Atlantic, where the shoreline is characterized by the rocky, basalt terrain typical of the island's coastal waters and sites are usually reached by boat from harbors along the south coast. The dive reaches a maximum depth of around 25 metres and is rated a beginner site. Divers have reported an overhead environment here, so awareness of the cave's structure is worth keeping in mind even at this level.
