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) - Caldeira do Farol offers some of Algarve & Berlengas's richest diving. Water ranges 15-19°C, warmest June, October, November.
Caldeira do Farol in the Berlengas offers a dive around a volcanic caldera. It’s a good spot for exploring volcanic rock formations and some resident fish life, though don’t expect a riot of colour. We’ve found it generally calm and accessible, making it suitable for newer divers looking for something a bit different from standard reef dives. It’s a solid choice if you're in the area.
