Double Shore Diving

For Certified Divers

The Double Shore Dive is the perfect way to explore two of the most iconic coastal dive sites in Caniçal — each with its own unique ecosystem and underwater scenery.

Dive 1 — Scorpio Madeira House Reef

Located just 50 meters from our dive center, this site is famous for its calm conditions and incredible macro life. Here, the stars of the show are:

  • Seahorses
  • Frogfish
  • Nudibranchs
  • Octopus
  • Colorful reef fish

It’s a relaxed dive with excellent visibility and ideal for photography lovers.

Dive 2 — Cais da Pedra d’Eira

A short walk from the center, this site features a spectacular volcanic wall filled with:

  • Caves and swim-throughs
  • Groupers (meros)
  • Cavacos (slipper lobsters)
  • Colorful corals and sponges
  • Pelagic visitors

This dive offers a completely different atmosphere — dramatic rock formations, vibrant colors, and abundant marine life.

Together, these two dives deliver the perfect combination of macro + landscape, calm + adventure, and reef + caves.
