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) - Cabo Submarino offers some of Algarve & Berlengas's richest reef diving. Water ranges 15-19°C, warmest June, October, November.
Cabo Submarino sits off the Algarve coast, a straightforward dive for anyone getting comfortable in the water. Dropping to 28 metres, it’s a good spot to practice your buoyancy and get some bottom time without wrestling strong currents. We typically see a few octopuses peeking from crevices, some small schooling fish, and often a cuttlefish or two gliding past. It's a solid choice for a second dive of the day, or if you're looking for a relaxed introduction to the area's deeper sites.
