Baleeira

This dive site is Baleeira, a bay in Portugal featuring a small, stony beach. It's an ideal location for novice divers and try dives, accessible both from boats and directly from the shore. The underwater terrain is relatively straightforward, with rocky areas and crevices providing shelter for marine life. The dive is generally shallow, making it suitable for beginners and those new to scuba diving. The marine life at Baleeira is diverse and includes triggerfish, sea breams, various anemones, soft corals, nudibranchs, red mullets, and cuttlefish. The cracks and crevices in the rocks provide excellent habitats for these smaller creatures, creating opportunities for macro photography. The variety of life makes the site rewarding for those interested in observing smaller marine inhabitants. The best time to visit Baleeira is during the warmer months, from spring to autumn, when the water is warmer and visibility is generally better. The calm conditions make it suitable for both scuba diving and freediving, although divers should be mindful of the potentially slippery rocks when entering and exiting the water. Always check weather and sea conditions before your dive and inform someone of your plans.
