Golden Reef Wall
★★★★☆
(116)
This reef is part of the largest natural reef in Portugal, the reef that stretches across the Bay of Armação de Pêra to Albufeira. The Golden Reef is about 3.3 nautical miles from the dive center, so it takes no more than 15 to 20 minutes. With a maximum depth of 21 meters in the sand and 14 meters at the top.
Here the dive begins in the wall that falls to the sand. Having some blocks of loose stones. Here one could almost say that it would be the “Garden of the gorgonians.”
