Pedra da Mula

★★★★★ (2,780)

Less than 10 minutes from the port of Sesimbra, and next to the amazing Ribeira do Cavalo beach, we can dive into this fantastic place, characterized by a rock in the shape of a mule. On a sandy bottom with some rocky areas, it is an excellent spot for wall diving with the sight of lots of marine life.

It is possible to see octopuses, bream, nudibranchs, salemas, kingfish. On the walls, lots of color and in the easternmost area, it is possible to see some cavities along the route.
