Strong current and depth make local guidance the practical way to dive it.
Pedra da Lagoa is a rocky shore dive at Fonte da Telha with two main rock heads and canyon-like shelves. The site has sandy bottom patches and a lot of marine life, but current is common and the dive is best treated as an experienced-diver shore reef rather than an easy training spot. Divers come here for the structure as much as the animals, with lobsters, rock crabs, Mediterranean slipper lobsters, octopus, congers, seabream, triggerfish, and schools of pouts all using the rock ledges and sheltering shelves.
