Ponta da Fisga

4.0(1 review)Portugal, Algarve, Sagres

Diving in the inner bay (see Google Earth) to SE there´s a underwater cave beginning at -10m (depends on the tide) that crosses the Ponta da Fisga to the open sea, ending at -13m. From shore, swimming from Praia da Ingrina to the left (SE) near the rocks. It´s aprox. 400 m so, if you have a boat, it´s easier. Ponta da Fisga is also known as Ingrina.
