This dive site, known as Praia da Poça - House Reef, is easily accessible directly from the beach. Underwater, divers will find a small sand bank that gives way to a reef extending towards the east, south, and west. The reef features interesting cracks and crevices running north to south, perpendicular to the coastline, offering natural pathways and excellent hiding spots for marine life. There is no specific historical information or story provided for this dive site.
The marine life here is diverse for a shallow coastal reef. Divers can expect to encounter various species of local fish, along with more charismatic creatures such as octopus, cuttlefish, sea bass, and conger eels. The numerous cracks and the varied reef structure provide an ideal habitat for these animals, making it an engaging spot for observation.
The best time to visit this dive site for optimal conditions is generally during the warmer months, typically from late spring through early autumn (May to October), when water temperatures are more comfortable and sea conditions tend to be calmer. Its exceptionally shallow average depth of 2 meters and maximum depth of 5 meters make it an excellent location for beginner divers, snorkelers, and freedivers. It's also suitable for macro photography due to the potential for smaller marine life inhabiting the reef's intricate details.
