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) - Pedra da Milu offers some of Algarve & Berlengas's richest reef diving. Water ranges 15-19°C, warmest June, October, November.
Pedra da Milu offers a good intermediate dive in the Algarve. We usually drop onto a rocky reef, which provides plenty of nooks and crannies to explore. Expect to see some of the usual Mediterranean suspects - we’ve often spotted octopus tucked into crevices, along with schools of sea bream and the occasional conger eel peeking from the shadows. The visibility can be quite decent here, making it a solid choice for those looking for a relaxed exploration of the local rock formations. It’s a comfortable dive for those with a few logged dives under their belt, looking for something reliable without being overly challenging.
