About Furada
Furada is a boat-access rocky-gorge dive off the Cascais coast where large cuts in the reef create a dramatic corridor effect when the water is clear. Divers usually come for the scenic terrain rather than for technical challenge, with bream, wrasse, octopus, cuttlefish, and nudibranchs giving the site a slow temperate-reef rhythm between the rock walls.
