Pontinha
★★★★☆
(1,015)
Pontinha is a wall that starts at 14 m going down to 30 m maximum. The dive can be divided in two parts, a deep one around 30m and a shallower one, around 20 m. The slope at the bottom of this wall carries on into the deep blue depths.
The wall is full of nooks and crannies that become lairs for many lobsters, moray eels, stingrays, fish, and turtles.
