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) - Ponta Dos Caminhos offers some of Algarve & Berlengas's richest diving. Water ranges 15-19°C, warmest June, October, November.
Ponta Dos Caminhos offers a straightforward dive along a rocky reef structure. Expect to see some of the typical Mediterranean residents here, perhaps an octopus tucked into a crevice or schools of small baitfish darting past. It's a decent spot for a relaxed dive, particularly if you're looking to log some bottom time without challenging conditions. Good for less experienced divers or those wanting a calm afternoon in the water.
