About Pedra da Milu
Pedra da Milu is a deep Sesimbra gorgonian reef with a colorful carpet-like backdrop and a strong identity as a macro and sunfish site. It is a boat dive that starts deep, so the main planning variables are depth, current, and the winter visibility window rather than distance or entry convenience. Divers come here for the gorgonian cover and the chance to see ocean sunfish being cleaned.
