All about Barra Velha dive site

Barra Velha suggests an old bar, channel, or reef edge where current and sediment may shape the dive. It likely has a mixed seabed of rock, sand, and fish movement.

What to see

Bream, wrasse, sand-dwelling fish, octopus, cuttlefish, conger eels, anemones, sponges, nudibranchs, and small schooling fish may be seen.

When To Go Diving

Best in calm conditions from late spring to early autumn. Water is usually 15–23°C on mainland sites, and visibility depends strongly on swell and tide.
