Praia da Rocha and Portimao coast dive guide.

Depth

6-18 m

Level

Accompanied beginners to certified divers

Access

Short coastal boat dive from Portimao or Praia da Rocha, chosen when swell and boat traffic allow a relaxed rocky profile.

Best season

Most reliable in settled summer and shoulder-season mornings; wind and swell still decide the route.

Safety

Use a local guide, surface marker and boat procedures because this is an active resort coastline.

Hours

No fixed public hours. Boat departures, protected-area access and shore entries depend on operators, permits and sea state.
