About this site
Pronto is a dive site off Madeira, the volcanic Portuguese island in the Atlantic off the northwest coast of Africa, with diving here concentrated along the island's southern coast near Funchal and the surrounding coastal towns. The underwater terrain follows the volcanic rock formations, drop-offs, and reefs typical of this mid-Atlantic archipelago. Divers have reported East Atlantic Sally Lightfoot crabs clinging to the rocks, and rough-toothed dolphins and short-finned pilot whales have also been sighted passing through the area.
