Ponta de Sao Lourenco
La profundidad indica el rango desde la parte superior del punto hasta su máximo habitual; la "certificación recomendada" es el nivel que los operadores suelen exigir según las principales agencias, no una norma legal. Las corrientes y la visibilidad cambian a diario — considera todo esto como rangos de planificación.
Madeira's eastern peninsula trails off into the Atlantic as a line of bare volcanic ridges, and the seabed continues the same geometry: dykes, arches and boulder chaos washed by clean oceanic water. Fish traffic is busier here than on the sheltered coast — schools of bogue and bream, hunting jacks and barracuda, big stingrays in the sand channels — because the point catches whatever the open sea pushes past. Conditions decide everything; on calm days it is the island's most scenic diving, and when swell runs the boats simply go elsewhere.
El momento por el que vienes: Raw volcanic topography, pelagic traffic at the point, uncrowded sites
Topografía: Dramatic volcanic ridges, arches and boulder fields at the island's eastern tip
Entrada: Boat dives from Machico or Canical along Madeira's exposed eastern peninsula; sites are chosen to match the day's swell.
Lo que debes saber antes de tirarte al agua
Riesgos: Exposure to swell and current; entries and exits can be sporty in anything but calm weather.
Conservación: The peninsula and surrounding waters are protected landscape; anchoring is restricted.
