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) - River Gurare offers some of Algarve & Berlengas's richest diving. Water ranges 15-19°C, warmest June, October, November.
The River Gurare offers a unique dive, following an old riverbed now submerged. You’ll find a mix of rocky outcrops and sandy patches, home to crabs, small gobies, and occasional flatfish. It’s a calmer dive, good for beginners or those looking for a relaxed exploration rather than dramatic coral. Visibility can vary with local conditions, but it often provides a gentle, undemanding experience.
