About this site
Sea Horses sits within the Ria Formosa lagoon system off Faro on Portugal's Algarve coast, a sheltered network of channels and sandbanks between the mainland and its barrier islands. The calm, shallow waters here are known locally for their seahorse populations, which gives the site its name. It reaches a maximum depth of around 4 metres and is rated an intermediate dive, likely owing more to lagoon conditions such as current through the channels than to depth itself.
