About Rondão Alvo
Boat-access reef off Porto de Mós with tall rock ridges, canyons, overhangs, and a cave-like cut to work along. It suits divers who want a structured Algarve site with simple navigation, torch use in darker sections, and a plan that respects Atlantic chop, swell, and visibility swings. Best when seas are settled and the boat schedule can work around conditions.
