About Azul House Reef
Azul House Reef is a shore-entry Madeira house reef built around volcanic rock, sandy patches, and small cave or cavern-like features that make the route more varied than a simple training bay. It is usually treated as an easy, scenic dive for newer and experienced divers alike, with barracuda, groupers, rays, cuttlefish, octopus, moray eels, and other reef life moving through the mixed rocky terrain.
