About Âncoras
Âncoras is a relaxed shallow dive and snorkel site on Porto Santo's south side, named for the old fishing anchors scattered across the bottom. The route is built around an easy buoy-marked start, sand and rock patches, and calm-water fish life that makes the site popular for first dives, check dives, and unhurried guided sessions.
