About Plateaux do Curralinho
Plateaux do Curralinho is a shallow offshore plateau on Santo Antão where the dive follows the edge between rock and sand, keeping the rocky side on the right while divers work crevices and holes for marine life. It is a boat-access plateau more than a casual shore swim, and conditions can occasionally turn the route into a relaxed drift when the current sets in.

Strong current
Safety Notes
Stay controlled near the rocky edge and be ready to let the current carry you if the drift picks up.
Access Restrictions
Plan it as a guided boat dive from Porto Novo rather than a self-guided shore entry.
