Ridge of rock from -3m to -15m around a muddy bottom. Special license needed from the Setubal harbor authority. Diving is only possible during the turn of the tide and rarely exceeding 60 minutes bottom time due to the strong current. The ridge if covered with large colonies of ascideans and sea fans. The muddy bottom is ideal to find many sea slugs but a very good buoancy is required. Shore diving is possible from the Albarquel beach but there are no dive centers in that place.

Wreck of the gunship "Faro" sunk in February 27th 1912 after colliding with a tugboat. The boiler is well preserved and houses large conger eels which often leave their dens to investigate nearby divers. Due to the nearby rivers, the bottom is covered with soft sediment which can easily affect visibility so a good buoyancy control is required. Besides all the animals living in the wreck, including the above mentioned conger eels, some forkbeards, numerous scorpionfish and octopuses, the sandy bottom also has interesting animals such as weevers, flatfish and headshield slugs. Macro subjects can also be found all around the wreck.

This is about 1 hour with a small boat from Kristiansund, at the NW coast of Norway.
The name of the nearest island is called Hestøya (Horse Island). The dive site is sheltered from the worst weather, but it may be bit current and that does so it becomes a rich macro life. The depht you can vary from the surface to about 30-35 meters. This picture is taken in the winter when the visibility is at it`s best.
Mostly I use my own boat for diving around Kristiansund.
