Baixa do Espelho (Mirror Reef)
A reef about 200 m offshore in front of the parish of Relva, roughly 5 miles from Ponta Delgada marina, with a cave on its flank (black coral, Antipathes wollastoni) and a sandy bottom at about 23 m. Morays, ornate wrasse, grey triggerfish, almaco jack and barracuda; suits all divers and night dives. The position is approximate (the official guide publishes no coordinates) and is for orientation only.
