Wall dive with a sandy valley and rock formations.
Cela 12/20 Wall is a natural reef dive on Portugal's largest reef system, where a clear wall opens into a sandy valley broken by rock formations. The site feels easy to read rather than technical: the wall, crevices, and rock edges give the dive its shape, while the valley keeps the route open and manageable. It suits divers who like a slower wall dive with a torch for the cracks and enough shelter for marine life to stand out.
