Level

Open Water with local guide

Access

Boat dive from Sesimbra; confirm route, mooring and conditions with the operator. The published operator point is not independently sufficient for a site coordinate.

Best season

Diving is possible through much of the year, but the operator chooses the site for wind, swell, visibility and park access; exposed western trips are less reliable in winter.

Safety

Use the guide-selected open route, maintain buoyancy and visibility in the rocky corridor, touch nothing and follow park and ascent procedures.

Hours

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