Albufeira

Albufeira is a coastal town in southern Portugal that serves as a popular gateway for diving along the Algarve coast. It offers access to numerous dive centers and day trips to nearby reefs and caves along the Atlantic; most dives are shore and boat-based with clear visibility, typical Mediterranean-to-tropical marine life, and limestone formations. While the town itself is geared toward tourism, the surrounding Algarve coastline provides a solid number of dive sites suitable for all levels, from beginners to experienced divers.
