Lagos offers diving adventures for divers of all levels of experience.
This beautiful coastline from Lagos to Sagres, has reefs, caves and a variety of marine life including octopuses, lobsters, crabs, blue conger eels, anemones, sea urchins, starfish, rays, big fish…
The best diving conditions are usually between April and October. The water temperature varies from fresh 14 to comfy 22C. The visibility in the Atlantic is 5-15m on average, depending on wind and currents. But it can also reach up to 20m on perfect days.
If you aren’t too sure of the diving experience, join the snorkelling group, swim around the most famous beaches next to Ponta da Piedade and admire the sea life.
