Ponta da Piedade caves and reefs dive guide.

Depth

8-24 m

Level

Beginner to Intermediate

Access

Boat dives near Lagos limestone formations; operators choose sheltered coves, reefs or cavern-like swim-throughs based on sea state.

Best season

Summer and early autumn bring the most visitor demand and calmer mornings; wind and swell still decide access.

Safety

Overhead-looking swim-throughs are not cavern training; stay in daylight zones and follow the guide route.

Hours

No fixed public hours. Boat departures, protected-area access and shore entries depend on operators, permits and sea state.
