East-Madeira wall dive with rocky ledges and macro life.
Parede do Silva is an east-Madeira wall dive near Boqueirao and Canical, shaped by a shallow rocky face, broken ledges, and small formations that reward slow, easy circuits. The site is best known for macro life rather than big terrain, with shrimps, crabs, nudibranchs, anemones, and other small Atlantic life tucked into the wall and rock pockets.
