Fortaleza
★★★★☆
(141)
At the Fortalezza dive site, the reef rises to within 1.5 meters of the water’s surface which has led to many ships running aground here. Around 12 meters deep you can still find some wreckage and pieces of coal from one of the last sunken freighters.
Octopus, cuttlefish and, countless nudibranchs can be found in the jagged rocks. The wall is home to shoals of monk-perch and parrotfish.
