About Os Cairos
Os Cairos is a short-boat, shallow dive off Foz where rock, sand, and submerged galleries create a gentle route that stays easy to read from the start. The profile suits a wide range of divers, but the real draw is the life gathered along the reef edges and inside the gallery sections near the estuary mouth. It works well as a relaxed day-out dive when you want structure, shelter, and a lot to scan without committing to a deep profile.
