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) - Flandres offers some of Algarve & Berlengas's richest diving. Water ranges 15-19°C, warmest June, October, November.
Flandres, off the Algarve coast, is a straightforward dive, often a decent second dive of the day. It’s mostly sand and rock, good for spotting the smaller, more cryptic critters like blennies and gobies if you take your time. Visibility here can be a bit variable, but when it’s good, it’s a relaxed drift. We’d suggest it for divers who appreciate the subtle beauty of a less dramatic site.
