Parque Gorgonias

Parque Gorgonias is a local dive site near Portimão in the Algarve, Portugal. This shallow to mid-depth site features a rocky reef-top landscape with scattered boulders and small overhangs. Access is straightforward from the coast, with typical entry from a beach or local boat. The site usually offers calm conditions, moderate visibility, and a relaxed drift potential depending on the current. Common Mediterranean-adjacent species in the Algarve region include groupers, sea bream, moray eels, and octopus, with posidonia meadows nearby contributing to a rich underwater habitat. The site is suitable for recreational divers and offers a mellow introduction to Algarve diving without being a destination highlight. If anchored from Portimão, the five to ten minute boat ride keeps logistics simple for day trips.
