Protected since 1986, Garajau is the reason Madeira appears on European divers' maps. Its dusky groupers — animals that reach well over a meter — treat divers as furniture, drifting alongside groups and posing at cleaning stations in a way that fished coastlines never see. Around them, the volcanic slope works through its cast of morays, octopus, trumpetfish, bream and roaming barracuda, with stingrays gliding over the sand margins. Depth is whatever you choose on the slope, which keeps the reserve friendly to new divers without boring experienced ones.
Momen yang Anda nantikan: Fearless dusky groupers, volcanic slopes, reliable shelter on the south coast
Topografi: Volcanic boulder slopes and rock fingers over sand, dropping steadily away from the cliffs
Entri: Most dives run by boat from Canico de Baixo; some shore entries exist off the reserve's beaches.
Ketahui sebelum kamu nyebur
Bahaya: Mild surge close to the cliffs after swell; watch depth on the descending slope.
Konservasi: Strict no-take reserve; the grouper population is the direct result of enforcement since the 1980s. No touching or chasing.
Nitrox: Layak di sini — profil berada dalam rentang di mana nitrox secara nyata memperpanjang waktu tanpa dekompresi (dengan pelatihan yang sesuai untuk menggunakannya).
