Why dive here
With 116+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, blue whales, dolphins, dwarf minke whales and ocean sunfish (mola mola) - 3 Milhas offers some of Algarve & Berlengas's richest reef diving. Water ranges 15-19°C, warmest June, October, November.
We found 3 Milhas to be a gentle introduction to Algarve diving. It's a shallow site, topping out at 10 metres, which is perfect for beginners or those looking for an easy second dive. You'll likely spot some of the smaller local fish species darting between the rocks. Don't expect dramatic coral, but it’s a good spot to get comfortable in the water.
