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) - Praia do Pintadinho offers some of Algarve & Berlengas's richest diving. Water ranges 15-19°C, warmest June, October, November.
Praia do Pintadinho is a solid choice for a relaxed dive in the Algarve. We're talking 8 meters max, so it's a great spot if you're just getting comfortable in the water or fancy an easy second dive. The sand bottom slopes gently, broken up by rocky outcrops that attract small crabs and blennies – you’ll want to move slowly and keep an eye out for them camouflaged against the rock. Visibility can be decent here, especially on a calm morning, making it easy to just drift along and enjoy the quiet.
