Faro de Lobos

Reef stretching from 27 to 32 meters depth, right in front of Lobos Island's lighthouse. You are almost guaranteed to see some big groupers, black trevallies and sometimes swarms of damsels. To the north of this site there is an area covered with gorgonian fans, photographers will love it! For safety reasons and because of the average depth of the site, Faro de Lobos is reserved to the experienced divers with at least the Advanced Open Water or CMAS 2. We recommend to use Nitrox, once again for safety and depth range. Be aware that the currents might be strong...
