Parede de Monte Trigo
Monte Trigo wall dive with blue-water life.
Boat-planned wall dive in Monte Trigo Bay; the wall, the blue, and the return line matter more than a fast descent.
About Parede de Monte Trigo
Parede de Monte Trigo is a wall dive in Monte Trigo Bay where the pull is the rocky drop-off, the blue water beside it, and the species that gather around the ledges and holes. It is a dive that rewards a deliberate descent and a calm return along the wall more than any rush to the bottom, and it fits best when the boat ride, sea state, and visibility all line up.

Safety Notes
Stay close to the wall, keep the blue side in view, and treat the return as the relaxed part of the dive rather than chasing depth.
Access Restrictions
Best treated as a guided boat dive from the Santo Antão side; the long transfer and sea state can determine whether the run makes sense that day.
Legal Notes
Follow the operator brief, respect fishing gear and marine life, and do not assume this is a casual independent entry site.
Local Intel For Parede de Monte Trigo
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Best as a guided scuba dive that uses the wall on descent and a shallower return line with time to look into the holes and edges.
Freediving
Breath-hold diving is not the natural fit here; the wall profile and depth are better suited to scuba with proper control.
Snorkeling
Not a primary snorkel site. The surface margin is secondary to the wall and deeper structure below it.
