Albufeira coastal reefs dive guide.

Depth

8-24 m

Level

Beginner to Intermediate

Access

Central Algarve boat dives to low reefs and ledges; useful for courses, refreshers and short-stay guided dives.

Best season

Summer and shoulder-season mornings are most predictable; boat choice depends on wind, swell and visibility.

Safety

Do not treat shallow depth as low risk; surge and boat traffic require surface-marker and guide procedures.

Hours

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