    Tubos is a straightforward dive, topping out at 21 meters, making it a good choice for newer divers in the Algarve. We usually find it’s a calm site, perfect for getting comfortable with buoyancy. Look closely in the cracks and crevices along the rock formations; we've seen everything from small octopus to blennies here. It's a relaxed, easy dive rather than a spectacle.
