This dive site, Pedra Boa, is located off the coast of Portugal, serving as a continuation of the Two Anchors point. It features an impressive wall that runs east-west before descending southwest, characterized by solid rock with few loose stones. While no specific history is provided, its topography suggests a natural formation offering diverse nooks and crannies for marine life and is navigated along the wall structure.
The reef structure provides an excellent habitat for various marine species. Divers can observe crabs, morays, and spider crabs nestled within the numerous cracks of the wall. The vibrant reef is also adorned with gorgonians, sea pens, and striking yellow sponges that display a multi-directional growth pattern, contributing to a rich benthic environment.
The site's average depth of 10 meters makes it accessible, while the maximum depth of 21 meters allows for deeper exploration. It is suitable for both recreational divers and freedivers looking to explore a vibrant wall ecosystem. Best times to visit would typically align with warmer months and calmer seas in Portugal, generally spring through autumn, to maximize enjoyment of its diverse marine inhabitants and colourful corals.
