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) - SEA CORAL offers some of Algarve & Berlengas's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 15-19°C, warmest June, October, November.
The Sea Coral wreck, off Cabo Roca, is a quick dip for those interested in a bit of history. She went down in 1977 after engine room trouble, a 59-meter motor vessel now resting in just two meters of water. We’ve found her to be quite broken up, but you can still pick out sections of her hull and some of the larger structural pieces. It’s a shallow dive, so light penetration and plenty of bottom time, making it a good spot for newer divers or those who prefer to stay out of the deeper blue. While we haven't seen anything truly unique, it’s home to the usual suspects: small schooling fish, a few crabs tucked into crevices, and some anemones clinging to the metal.
