Jardim dos Nudibrânquios, Portugal

The name of the spot translates to Nudibranch Garden. And it's well deserved. The typical dive is made along a small drop between 10 and 12m deep where the shore line probably was once. The large amount of sponges and gorgonians with many hiding places make it a good spot for nudibranchs. The quantity and variety is tremendous. Visibility is rather poor but if you're into nudibranchs it really pays off.
