Paredes do Porto de Mós is a boat-access Algarve wall dive in Lagos with terraces, overhangs, and deep crevices. The reef is built from porous rock, so a flashlight helps reveal the eel holes and hidden life. It suits divers who are comfortable with a bit more structure and want sea fans, eels, and a straightforward wall profile rather than a flat sandy site.
