Arcos do Pocinho

The dive starts on a lava flow at around 9 m and follows rock formations shaped like small valleys with an uneven floor. It ends at two joined arches, the main feature of the site, which frame a cave full of small crustaceans and colourful nudibranchs. Azores chromis are common around the arches. Schools of yellowmouth barracuda and white trevally often pass by. Regal Diving describes the site as made of lava tunnels, arches and walls.
