About Pedra dos Safios

Pedra dos Safios is a low rocky mass at Fonte da Telha with holes, cracks, and gorgonian cover that hold a lot of marine life. It is a deep Atlantic rock-reef dive rather than a shallow stroll, and the best viewing is usually in the cavities and along the relief. The site is for experienced divers who want structure, life in the rock, and a classic Portuguese sea dive.
