Diving in Madeira
Madeira is often described as a garden suspended in the ocean, but its charms are not only on the surface. Exploring its underwater world means discovering a lot of life and vibrant colours. For sea lovers, diving in Madeira is an experience not to be missed! The diverse marine fauna, the depth at different spots along the coast, the excellent visibility conditions or the mild water temperatures, which vary between 18 °C and 24 °C, make diving irresistible all year round. Among the various sites recommended for diving in Madeira, divers and beginners alike will find underwater sceneries of rare beauty that they will hardly forget.
From the seven spots located in the nature reserve of Garajau to the artificial reefs resulting from sunken ships, as well as places where it is possible to dive directly from the beach - as in the case of Porto Santo -, the range of options for those who want to go diving in Madeira is vast.
