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.

This dive site has a maximum depth of about 13m and consists of a shallow stone that extends from west to east near the exit of the port. Diving this site is very easy and you are always surrounded by life.

This spot is one of the most popular in the area, only because of its easy orientation and the diversity of life. The most common course is to keep the rock on your left side and circle around it, taking into account that the north side of the rock is less deep, allowing for a long dive.
