About Pedra do Meio
Pedra do Meio is a Sesimbra Bay boat dive built around shallow rock slabs near the port exit. It is an easy, relaxed site with sand, pebbles, and bedrock, plus a nursery feel from octopus, cuttlefish, squid, and seahorses. On calm days it works well for slow exploration and night dives, but surface boat movement means the top of the water deserves attention.
