Larger species commonly seen include sting rays, dolphins, white sea bass, and sunfish. While diving in Portugal may be more pelagic-centric, the region also has plenty of macro and reef species. Octopus, squid, crabs, lobsters, sardines and conger eels along with a variety of fish can often be seen.
