About Ponta dos Caminhos
Ponta dos Caminhos is a cliff-edge tunnel-and-cave dive in Martinhal Bay, built around high rock walls, linked passages, and shallow rocky terrain. It suits guided divers who want route-finding, buoyancy control, and a mix of small marine life rather than big-water exposure. Planning is driven by swell, tide, and the bay's changing conditions, so the best days are the calm ones.
