Arenas
Protected Area
Parque Natural de Cruzinha
Arenas sits shallow, just 14 metres, making it a good spot if you’re newer to diving or want a relaxed second dive. We’ve found a mix of reef fish here – parrotfish, wrasse, the usual suspects – keeping the sandy bottom and the occasional rock interesting. Visibility is typically decent, so it’s easy to explore without feeling rushed. It's a calm site for getting comfortable in the water.
