This dive site, Pontinha, features a substantial wall that descends from 14 meters to a maximum depth of 30 meters. The dive offers two distinct sections: a deeper area around 30 meters and a shallower zone approximately 20 meters down. This wall is characterized by numerous nooks and crannies, providing shelter for a diverse array of marine life, including lobsters, moray eels, and stingrays. At the base of the wall, a steep slope leads into the deep blue, creating an environment where larger oceanic stingrays and occasionally hammerhead sharks may be observed as they ascend from the depths.
