April 2006 Small island near Madeira good to relax. Good dives . Food good and we can do some trips around the island. We can reach Funchal in 2.30 Hours by big boats.

Very good wreck to dive. Because of the deep is recommend for advancd divers or to dives with more them 30 dives them bottom is at 34 metres but we can dive at 18-20 and see all the wreck. good for photos and for penetration.
