PELO NEGRO  
By Luis Mota (SUBMANIA) 
      
A group of rocks located out 
of Leca da Palmeira beach. 
 With a 
maximum depth of 21m and 8m on top, this is the perfect place to dive and 
appreciate local marine life that usually lives this kind of environment. 
It starts from seaside with thin broad stones on the seabed, 
at 21m, and goes slowly to 8m depth. Then, on landside, it goes straight to the 
bottom, forming a wall. 
 The diver goes 
underwater with the certain that will find a place full of marine life, from the 
coloured anemones to sponges, from the crustaceous to the molluscs and so many 
varieties of fishes that surround these rocks. 
Beside marine life, this site 
also offers some natural attractions, such as walls and canyons with 4m high 
where divers can swim through and enjoy the amazing life that grows everywhere 
in this unique dive site. 
For these and others 
attractions, "Pelo Negro" is one of the best and most visited rock dives. 
Excellent for any diver and 
very good for night diving. 
Minimum diving certification 
required to dive this wreck:  
CMAS one star or equivalent.
