- prozor
- Summer (Jun-Sep) for warmest water (~22-24C) and best viz; morning before the thermal breeze.
- plima
- Tide not critical; pool entry slightly easier near high water.
- zaklon
- SW coast: sheltered from N/NE winds by the Santa Bárbara massif. Open to S and SW swell.
- opasnost
- MAIN HAZARD is the cave: entrance at 14 m, long galleries and tight corridors = entrapment risk. NEVER solo the cave. On the open wall, building swell and drift along the wall.
- pristup
- Road down to the leisure area, ramp and natural pool at the old port; enter via the pool then follow the underwater wall.
Terceira's premier dive site and the main SW freedive/hunt entry; lava arches and tunnels. Cave only with a buddy and surface support.
