Faro
★★★★☆
(491)
The special thing about Faro is that it has both, shallower areas at the ends that allow easy entry, and a wonderful reef that descends to depths of around 30 meters, which can be explored if the current allows it. Most common to see big sharks!
Very often we find large schools of big eye jacks and groups of pacific dog snappers, and barracudas often come to check us out. Here and there a scorpion fish, octopus, seahorse ..
