Pontinha

Pontinha is a wall dive that starts at 14 m and reaches about 30 m. It can be split into a deeper part around 30 m and a shallower part around 20 m. The rock is full of crevices and small holes used by lobsters, moray eels and stingrays. At the foot of the wall a slope continues into deep blue water, from which large oceanic stingrays and occasionally hammerhead sharks may come up.
