Baixa da Senhora da Guia
A small reef close to the town of Praia and the Praia islet. The top is a platform at about 3–8 m with many small colourful fish (rainbow and ornate wrasses, Azores chromis, morays, yellow cluster anemones); below it the reef drops vertically to about 30 m, with a small cave and a large area of black coral at about 16 m. Dusky grouper are seen more often deeper down.
