    StandoutRich in charismatic marine life

    Armacao de Pera offers a good introduction to Algarve diving, generally calm and shallower than some of the further offshore sites. You'll find rocky reefs here, home to octopuses, cuttlefish, and schools of bream. It's a solid choice for newer divers or those looking for a relaxed afternoon dip, without the stronger currents sometimes found further out. Visibility hovers around 10-15 metres on a good day.
