Carrapateira dive guide.

Depth

Up to 16 m

Level

Intermediate with local guide

Access

Exposed west-coast boat dive from the Sagres/Luz operation, attempted only when the operator accepts weather and recovery conditions.

Best season

Trips run through the year when conditions allow; exposed west-coast sites require a suitable wind, swell, current and visibility window.

Safety

Canyons, cave entrances, surge and exposed pickup require close guide contact. Remain in open water/daylight unless specifically cavern-trained.

Hours

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