This dive site is located in front of Santa Cruz, about 500 meters from the coast and 10 minutes from the recreational port of Machico. It is a wall covered in black coral where the top is at 13m and the bottom at 40m. Along the wall, we can see a whole panoply of fish associated with the rocky substrate, such as green fish, chestnuts, among others. On the sandy bottom, it is possible to find large rays. Being a dive away from the coast and sometimes subject to currents requires some experience, but undoubtedly a very interesting dive, where it is possible to observe pelagics.
