About Pedra da Morea
Pedra da Morea is a boat dive built around a reef and wall packed with Phoenician anchors and rock shelters. The route is compact and easy to read, so divers can work the anchor field and rocky edges without much navigation stress. A short run from the marina keeps the logistics simple, and a torch helps pick out fish tucked into the stone recesses. Occasional tuna, bonito, and sunfish add a useful pelagic bonus.
