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) - Jardim das Gorgonias offers some of Algarve & Berlengas's richest reef diving. Water ranges 15-19°C, warmest June, October, November.
Jardim das Gorgônias, or "Garden of Gorgonians," delivers exactly what the name suggests. We’ve found the seafloor here carpeted in a dense growth of these colourful soft corals. It's a relaxed dive, typically with good visibility, making it a solid choice for macro photographers and those who enjoy a slower pace to really take in the intricate details of a healthy reef.
