    The 2 Anchors site in Algarve is a straightforward dive, named for the pair of large anchors that rest on the seabed. It’s a fairly flat bottom, mostly sand with scattered rocky patches, where you'll often spot octopus and cuttlefish hiding out. It's a relaxed spot, good for newer divers or those looking for an easy, shallow second dive to round out the day.
