Around Sesimbra, there are numerous beginner-friendly dive sites, which we reach with our boat in a short time. One of the most popular places is the Baia da Armação, a calm and sheltered bay characterized by large blocks of rock. Underwater, you can expect a variety of anemones and sponges, but also other sea creatures such as octopuses and sole.

It was a wonderful experience with my group of friends. We received a very warm welcome and were given a lot of information. The crew was very funny and very open. They all spoke English and even provided us with snacks and water after the dive. I highly recommend it, a great way to see marine life up close.
