This dive site is located at Ponta da Piedade in Portugal, featuring small cave formations that offer a unique semi-closed environment dive. Divers can always see daylight and the absence of tight restrictions makes it suitable for all certified divers. Navigation within the caves is straightforward due to the open nature and visible light.
A diverse range of aquatic life inhabits these caves, including crabs, shrimps, congers, breams, and octopus. The rock formations provide ample hiding spots and opportunities for observing these creatures in their natural habitat.
The best time to visit this dive site is during the low season, as heavy boat traffic restricts access at other times. Its shallow depth and open nature make it ideal for both scuba divers and freedivers seeking an accessible cavern experience with abundant small marine life.
