Shallow Bombinhas beach dive with easy access and reef life.
Praia de Bombinhas is a shallow beach-entry dive with a sandy bottom and a rocky headland at one end. The site is easy to orient, works well for snorkelers and new divers, and the best part is the short reefy section where marine life gathers around rocks, sponges, and calmer water. It is a simple, low-stress coastal dive that can still produce plenty of small marine life when the sea is calm and visibility holds.
