Tubos

Tubos is a local Portuguese dive site near Cascais known for its sloping rocky seabed and string-like colorfully adorned tubes that provide shelter for small marine life. The site typically lies in shallow to mid-depth water with easy access from nearby shores, making it suitable for entry-level to intermediate divers. Expect a coastal marine environment with common temperate Atlantic species such as wrasse, gobies, dories, blennies, and lobsters hiding among rocks and crevices. Currents are usually light to moderate, so plan for a relaxed drift or slow shore entry depending on conditions. The site is frequently visited from Cascais and nearby towns, and is a convenient option for a short half-day dive when weather allows calm seas.
