This spot is called "Anchors" due to abandoned local fisher boat anchors.
Our anchor buoy is at 6mts depth. It is an ideal dive site for Discover Scuba Divers, beginners, check dives, and snorkeling. This site, like most of Porto Santo dive sites, is inside of the golden breams protected marine reserve with an abundant fish life all along the southern edge of the Ilheu de Cima, which drops right into the sea with no beaches.
As our most frequented dive site, the fish are very used to divers and usually accompany us throughout the whole dive. Expect to see golden breams, parrotfish, sea bream, spider crabs, the occasional moray or octopus, and triggerfish—a very relaxing dive.
