    StandoutRich in charismatic marine life

    Santa Eulalia offers a good introduction to Algarve diving, particularly for those getting their fins wet after a break. We typically find the dive to be quite relaxed, with a mix of small rock formations and sandy patches. Look for cuttlefish, octopus, and schooling sea bream tucked amongst the rocks. It’s a comfortable dive, making it a solid choice for less experienced divers or anyone wanting an easy afternoon in the water.
