Ilhéus da Madalena

The islets offer different dive profiles depending on whether the group stays on the south side or goes between the two rocks. The underwater scenery of volcanic rock and scattered blocks shelters damselfish, small schooling fish, moray eels and nudibranchs. Jewel and yellow anemones add colour, and stingrays and triggerfish are regular sightings. Current is usually low according to Wannadive.
