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) - Modulos de Exploracao offers some of Algarve & Berlengas's richest diving. Water ranges 15-19°C, warmest June, October, November.
The Modulos de Exploracao site, off the Algarve coast, offers a different kind of dive. We’re talking about a series of concrete exploration modules, artificial structures that have become home to a range of fish and crustaceans. It’s an interesting spot for macro photographers looking for critters tucked into the crevices, or divers wanting to explore something a bit unusual rather than a natural reef. Visibility here can be a bit variable, so we'd suggest picking a calm day for the best experience.
