Garajau

★★★★☆ (3,996)

This site is the most popular dive site on Madeira Island, located around 100 meters offshore. The sea bed consists of a sandy bottom where huge rock formations lie creating the perfect environment for the famous Dusky grouper. Can be done by boat or from the shore by car.

Encounters with Dusky groupers and rays are almost guaranteed. Barracuda and pelagic life are likely to be encountered.
