Bailonas, off Portugal’s Algarve coast, is a dive for those comfortable at depth. Dropping to 30m, it’s an expert-level site often subject to stronger currents. We’ve found it best suited for divers looking for a deeper profile, though specific marine life sightings can vary considerably here. It’s certainly not one for the inexperienced.
