About this site
This dive site off Sesimbra features dramatic underwater cliffs and caves teeming with marine life. The rocky formations create swim-throughs and overhangs, home to octopus, moray eels, and schools of bream. Visibility is often excellent, with depths ranging from 10 to 30 meters. The Atlantic currents bring nutrient-rich waters, attracting larger pelagics like barracuda and occasional rays. The site suits all experience levels, with sheltered areas for beginners and deeper sections for advanced divers. The clear waters and diverse ecosystem make it a standout spot in Portugal.
