Alcatraz
Protected Area
RNI Ilhéu de Curral Velho
Alcatraz offers a straightforward dive, popular for its schools of grunts and snappers that shelter around the rock formations. We often spot moray eels tucked into crevices, and the occasional nurse shark cruises by. It's a relaxed spot, good for newer divers building confidence, with generally mild currents. The main draw here is the sheer number of fish in a relatively confined space.
