Getting there

Porto Santo is reached either by air into Porto Santo Airport (PXO) or by sea from Madeira.

Fly: direct or connecting flights into PXO, often via Lisbon (LIS) or Madeira (FNC) depending on season.
Ferry: the Porto Santo Line ship (Lobo Marinho) links Funchal (Madeira) and Porto Santo; schedules vary by season.
Plan backups: if your trip is dive-critical, build in a buffer day in case wind or swell shifts the boat plan.
