In Madeira Island the most exciting dive sites are: Garajau National park and Cabo Girão Marine park. They are all characterized by an extremely rich biodiversity, clear waters and abundance of marine life! This zone is a paradise for underwater photography. Divers may find here tunas, mackerels, large groupers, barracudas, huge stingrays, moorays etc. In addition, from time to time we have the chance to spot some amazing creatures, such as Monk Seal, frogfish, huge round stingrays, sea horses, sharks and turtles. The average depth is 15-20 m.
If you like wreck diving we can even take you to explore the wreck of the Corveta Afonso Cerqueira F488 located in the Marine Park of Cabo Girão, an autentic artificial reef or the Pronto Wreck at 30mt right in front of our dive shop.
In Maderia diving is possible all year round with the best conditions between June and November when water temperatures are more comfortable. The minimum temperatures are in February with 18 degrees and the maximum of 25 degrees between August and September.
Visibility is excellent all year round.
Madeira's only airport is the Funchal International Airport that connect all European main cities with direct flights.
