JULIA
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) - JULIA offers some of Algarve & Berlengas's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 15-19°C, warmest June, October, November.
The Julia is a non-dangerous wreck in the Algarve, sitting upright at 16m. We found the wheelhouse and bow to be the most interesting sections, often sheltering schools of juvenile fish. It’s an accessible dive for less experienced wreck divers looking to explore an intact structure and observe resident damselfish. Currents here are usually mild.
