Technical wall dive on the Fonte da Telha coastline.
Technical wall dive on the Fonte da Telha coastline.
Technical cliff dive on the old Fonte da Telha coastline, with pronounced wall relief, narrow gaps, and a profile that suits precise buoyancy rather than casual cruising. The draw is the hard structure and the living rock faces: anthias, sponges, and Dendrophyllia ramea show up on the stronger faces, while the site rewards a careful, patient line and good sea-state timing.
