Diver's Notes

O local de mergulho "Propeller's Paradise" é um naufrágio descoberto à pouco tempo ao largo de Portimão. Pensa-se que seria um rebocador da marinha, mas até agora encontra-se sem identificação.
Tem uma hélice de 5 pás (meio enterrada, é possivel observar-se 3 pás) e um veio de uns 10 metros aproximadamente.
É um naufrágio cheio de vida marítima. É possivel observar:
- Polvos
- Chocos (grandes)
- Rascassos
- Nudibranquios
- Peixes Galo
- Sargos
- Gorgónias
Efectuou-se uma descida por cabo, saida de barco e entrada de costas. Má visibilidade, menos de 3 metros. Senti frio aos 35 minutos e pedi para subir.
