About Baía da Flandres
Baia da Flandres is a sheltered Berlenga bay dive where calm water, wreck remnants, and rocky features combine into an easy route packed with marine life. The classic circuit starts in the bay, visits the remains of the English ship Camrose, loops around Cavalete Rock, and can finish with a look into a small shallow cavern, making it one of the more relaxed ways to sample Berlengas terrain without committing to the archipelago's more exposed walls.
