Jardim das Gorgónias
Protected Area
Parque Natural de Cruzinha
Jardim das Gorgónias, or 'Gorgonian Garden,' lives up to its name. It’s a gentle spot on Santo Antão, shallow at just 18m, making it a great choice if you're relatively new to diving or just looking for a relaxed afternoon. We’ve found the soft corals here can be quite striking, swaying in the mild surge, and it’s a good place to slow down and really look for smaller reef fish tucked amongst the polyps. Visibility can vary, but generally, it’s a pleasant, easy dive.
