Dive the sheltered waters of Sesimbra's marine park and explore the iconic River Gurara wreck.
Haliotis Sesimbra operates from the Porto de Abrigo in this historic fishing village on the Setúbal Peninsula. The center is situated within a protected marine park area where the rocky coastline of Arrábida meets the Atlantic Ocean, providing sheltered conditions for diving year-round. The operation utilizes semi-rigid boats to access dive sites ranging from shallow reefs suitable for beginners to deep technical wrecks like the River Gurara. Divers can explore diverse habitats including gorgonian gardens and rocky bays teeming with over 1400 species of marine life, such as sea anemones, octopus, and common soles. The facility features a specialized dive shop, classrooms for training, and changing rooms equipped with hot water showers. The team includes PADI Master Instructors who offer both recreational courses and guided trips to local sites.
