Arrábida Experiences

A small shipwreck of the barge that transported the stones appears in the construction of the new point of the harbor of Sesimbra.It is split in two but despite its small dimensions it is a very pleasant place for divers who are beginners or with less experience.

Less than 10 minutes from the port of Sesimbra, and next to the amazing Ribeira do Cavalo beach, we can dive into this fantastic place, characterized by a rock in the shape of a mule. On a sandy bottom with some rocky areas, it is an excellent spot for wall diving with the sight of lots of marine life.

This dive site has a maximum depth of about 13m and consists of a shallow stone that extends from west to east near the exit of the port. Diving this site is very easy and you are always surrounded by life.

Shipwreck of a small transport vessel. Its cargo was constituted by tile remains, hence the site name. It is located at a depth between 55 and 65 meters, depending on the tide. Due to the depth this site is only for expert divers.

The general location of Penedos was given to us by a local fisherman around 20 years ago. He told us about the existence of these large boulders and abrupt depth changes in a relatively confined area just in front of the village of Sesimbra.

This site is home to a stone that looks like a lion. The diving is done next to its wall. There is a wide underneath passage that crosses through the rock. Around it, you can find smaller rocks covered with algae.
