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) - Santa Eulalia 2 offers some of Algarve & Berlengas's richest reef diving. Water ranges 15-19°C, warmest June, October, November.
Santa Eulalia 2, sitting at a comfortable 12 metres, is one of those spots we like to recommend for a relaxed afternoon dive, especially if you're still building your confidence. It's a fairly gentle introduction to the Algarve's underwater world, with a few interesting rock formations providing shelter for juvenile fish. We've often seen cuttlefish here, along with some colourful nudibranchs if you slow down and look closely. It's not going to blow your mind, but it’s a solid, easy dive that’s perfect for beginners or anyone who just wants to get wet.
