This is an islet decorated with a gorgonian wall with the possibility of cave exploring. With a mainly rocky bottom, it is possible to observe big schools of fish flanking the rock. Usually, big forkbeards and triggerfish defend their lairs in these caves. Noticeably, one of these caves even has a freshwater spring.

Corte is a calm bay shielded by the enveloping rocks of Farilhões. Shallow depths make it the ideal spot for easy diving (like speciality training) or to relax at the boat in between dives absorbing all the surrounding nature. During the summer, it’s possible to see dolphins jumping out of the water or schools of sunfish.

A grim name for one of the more incredible spot in Farilhões. Being less accessible, and exposed to the north, the cemetery is a testimony to the countless ships which sank in the nights and days of thick fog. The number of wrecks is such that is very difficult to differentiate between structures on the sea floor.

Being the biggest rock in Estelas, this is a sought-out spot in Berlengas. Beginning the dive in the East side of the rock, the goal is to explore the characteristic fault in the middle of Estelão. It’s in this passage canyon, rich in marine life on the water and the walls, were most of the diving takes place.

This is a rich reef northwest of Estela’s where it’s possible to see big schools of pelagic fish swimming around the whole wall. Going down to 30 meters, it’s possible to explore the Greek wreck Sapho with its boilers, structure, and anchors.

One of the richest reefs in Estelas, it’s a dive highly dependent on ocean conditions. The reef, which goes down to 25 and then 40 meters, is rich in pelagic fish and encrusting life. It’s at the bottom were the Maroudi Inglessi wreck can be visited, especially it’s two huge boilers.

This site is an exposed rock that breaches the surface in low tides. It is an amazing diving experience, taking you down to 30 meters (with some current). Being surrounded by big schools of fish, it is at depth where it’s possible to see gorgonians and explore the boilers and inner structure of the Gomes VIII wreck.

Former spawning ground for benthic sharks. Unfortunately, today they are gone due to human action, but the name was kept and it still can offer a rich diving experience. With a sandy bottom, there is a more sheltered inner segment where it is possible to enjoy the diverse marine life inhabiting the walls of the strait.

This dive site is in the bay around the fort of S.J. Baptist filled with schools of cow or two-banded sea bream, octopi, and cuttlefish, as well as smaller marine life (nudibranch). Iconic formations (such as “Muxinga“ or Whale Rock) allow the exploration of spots like the Blue Cave or the Lobster Cave, ironically inhabited by triggerfish.

Tranquil dive-spot full of marine life. From the initial bay, you can explore the remnants of an English shipwreck, the Camrose. Going round the “Cavalete Rock”, returning to the bay, it’s possible to explore a small shallow cavern if the air supply allows for it.
