In order to prevent the desertification of the seabed along the coast of Madeira Island a group of diving lovers proposed the creation of a Nature Reserve. Thus, in 1986 the Garajau Partial Nature Reserve was created and became a truly marine protected paradise. Amongst the fauna are larger fish such as the Epinephelus guaza (commonly knowned as Mero), other coastal species and the Atlantic Manta Rays (manta birostris).

That’s exactly what you can do here! Our large house reef offers four separate diving spots with easy access directly from the bathing complex and diving centre (5 meters to 34 meters). Here you will find a large and colourful biodiversity due to the influence of the warm currents of the Gulf Stream and the protected area of the Underwater Nature Reserve of Garajau with caves and tunnels, large groupers, schools of barracuda, colourful parrot fish and Manta rays. Divers are also able to dive during the night.
