Pedra do Ouro is a wall and reef site located in the Santa Eulália Area of Portugal. Reached exclusively by boat, the site features a drop-off reaching depths of 27 to 30 metres. Divers encounter mild currents, though visibility can vary significantly, making a dive light a useful tool for exploring crevices. Water temperatures range from 16 to 19 degrees Celsius throughout the year, necessitating a minimum 5mm wetsuit. While suitable for beginners, the depth requires careful monitoring of gauges and air consumption. Divers should exercise caution regarding potential entanglement risks within any overhead environments and monitor local conditions closely before departure.

Check visibility conditions with your boat operator before heading out, as it can vary considerably and will shape how much of the wall you actually see. Bring a dive light regardless of the time of day, both for peering into crevices and as a safety precaution if visibility drops.
