Acerca de Pedra Do Leao
Pedra Do Leao es un arrecife poco profundo con entrada desde costa frente a Sesimbra, construido alrededor de un perfil compacto de roca y crestas, con corales blandos, anémonas y una orientación sencilla. Es apto para principiantes, personas que practican snorkel y buceadores tranquilos en días calmados porque la corriente suele ser baja y el sitio se presta más a una exploración pausada que a una inmersión a la deriva o a la profundidad.
