Farilhoes and Forcadas reefs dive guide.

Depth

12-35 m

Level

Intermediate to Advanced

Access

Boat diving from Peniche toward the outer Berlengas reefs when Atlantic swell, visibility and reserve rules allow the run.

Best season

Most practical in the summer Berlengas boat season, with cancellations possible whenever wind or swell closes the offshore window.

Safety

Remote pickup, cold water, surge and current require recent boat-diving experience, SMB procedures and conservative gas reserves.

Hours

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