Located 1.5 miles from Funchal, it is a place that can be accessed from land or boat. We do this dive from a boat so that we can start at the deepest part and go up through the various canyons. The maximum depth is 26 meters and the top is at 2 meters. The average depth of the dive is 14 meters.
In the various canyons we find several species of moray eels, namely the black moray eel (Muraena augusti) and the serpent moray eel (Enchelycore anatina). Usually these have cleaner shrimp, which will be ideal for a photograph.
This site needs to be visited more than once in order to know the entire dive site, due to its extension.
