Pedra de Déu: advanced Medes wall with gorgonians
Pedra de Déu is a boat-accessed Medes Islands wall dive that starts over shallow rock and then opens into gorgonian-covered vertical faces. It is an advanced, high-interest site with strong fish life, a clear wall profile and the kind of controlled buoyancy and gas planning that rewards calm conditions more than casual wandering.

A shallow rock start that moves into vertical gorgonian walls and a deeper drop-off.
