    StandoutRich in charismatic marine life

    Poço offers a straightforward dive, well-suited for intermediate divers looking for a relaxed exploration. We found the 19m maximum depth creates a comfortable profile for an extended bottom time, giving you a chance to really soak it in. Keep an eye out for octopus tucked into crevices and the occasional moray eel peeking from under rocks. It’s a good spot to hone your buoyancy or practice photography without the distraction of strong currents or complex navigation.
