About this site
Banco Dollabarat is a seamount in the open Atlantic Ocean, 3 nautical miles from Formigas. It looms from several hundred metres of depth up to a summit at 4 metres.
Formigas itself lies 20 nautical miles off the shore of São Lourenço and is one of the most popular dive areas in the Atlantic for sightings of large animals. Dollabarat is another site mainly for big animals, and as an offshore site it is reached over open sea.
