About Batelão
Batelão is a shore-entry wreck off Sesimbra, made from a small barge that split into two sections beside the harbor breakwater. The site is compact and easy to read, with tetrapod structure giving a simple route for relaxed scuba, freediving, or snorkeling on calm days. It suits beginners and training dives because current is low and visibility is usually modest rather than crystal clear.
