Banco de Pescadores is a mixed natural and artificial reef located 6000 metres offshore from the Restinga del Faro. Reached exclusively by boat, the site sits at depths between 12 and 17 metres. Divers encounter moderate currents and variable visibility ranging from 1 to 10 metres. The artificial reef structures create an overhead environment with caves and swim-throughs, requiring careful navigation to avoid contact. Due to the potential for shifting conditions, including surf and low visibility, this site is suited for intermediate divers. Water temperatures fluctuate significantly throughout the year, ranging from 10 to 21 degrees Celsius, necessitating appropriate thermal protection such as a 7mm wetsuit or drysuit.
