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) - Muro Wall offers some of Algarve & Berlengas's richest wall diving. Water ranges 15-19°C, warmest June, October, November.
Muro Wall sits at a comfortable 20 metres, making it a good spot for newer divers looking to get some depth without a lot of fuss. The wall itself is mostly rock, with some scattered sponges and the usual cast of Mediterranean wrasse and bream darting about. It’s a decent entry point for getting your fins wet in the Algarve.
