Diving Algarve Portugal

[Mattias Granberg]

Hi!
This video is from the weekend we spent in Algarve Portugal.

Algarve has a rich marine life due to upwellings coming from the Atlantic sea in the west, brought there by north and westerly winds.

Sagres have beautiful caves, wrecks, lots of fish and marine life. We dove with Mar Ilimitado, a great company which also conducts marin biology research projects alongside it's diving center.

The diving in Portimao was at the Ocean revival park. The park consists of four different ships that deliberately got sunked and now has become whole new ecosystems. We dove with the professional company Subnauta.

Hope you like the video!

Hi Mattias, great video!
I am planning to visit Portugal (Lisbon) end of January, could you please recommend places to dive? Azores is a well advertised place, but maybe something close by Lisbon may work as well? What dives can you usually do in January in Lisbon?
