Salgadeiras offers a straightforward dive, well-suited for less experienced divers or those looking for a relaxed afternoon. The main feature is a series of small, swim-through caves and overhangs that are fun to explore. You'll likely spot some moray eels tucked into crevices, along with schools of sea bream cruising by. Visibility here can vary, but on a good day, it’s a pleasant, easy dive.
