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) - Paredes do Porto de Mós offers some of Algarve & Berlengas's richest wall diving. Water ranges 15-19°C, warmest June, October, November.
Paredes do Porto de Mós is a good starting point if you're exploring the Algarve's coastline. It's an easy wall dive, peaking at 17 metres, which makes it perfect for beginners or those looking for a relaxed afternoon. The wall itself has plenty of nooks and crannies to peer into, often revealing smaller blennies and gobies tucked away. We’ve seen octopuses here before, sometimes just a pair of eyes peeking out from a crevice. It’s a comfortable dive, usually with mild currents, allowing you to take your time and explore.
