Acerca de Batelão
Batelão es un pecio con entrada desde costa frente a Sesimbra, formado a partir de una pequeña barcaza que se partió en dos secciones junto al rompeolas del puerto. El sitio es compacto y fácil de interpretar, con estructura de tetrápodos que ofrece una ruta sencilla para buceo relajado, apnea o snorkel en días tranquilos. Es apto para principiantes y para inmersiones de entrenamiento porque la corriente es baja y la visibilidad suele ser moderada, más que cristalina.
