@dickiebush I wouldn’t change. Reading is already the first

Madeira's springtime is evident under the sea. The algae Cystoseira abies-marina, which left the bottom of the shores around December, returns with intensity now.

Here, accompanied by a fast Peixe-Verde (Thalassoma pavo) and a solitary Castanheta (Abudefduf luridus).

Conservation will thrive where humans and nonhumans live together. Old and new businesses that uses the land or the sea must coexist with what is already there.

A young Marbled electric ray (Torpedo marmorata) swimming near Funchal.

They are not that easy to find, but when it happens we shall be cautious ⚠️

It seems to be a young individual, but when fully developed they can deliver a strong electrical charge⚡️

It is impossible to don't get amused by Madeira Archipelago 🏝

In a short trip to Ilhas Desertas (Desert Islands) a lot can be seen.

You can spot dolphins, whales and so much more...🐬 🐳

If you want to experience it, you need a good snorkel, a good night of sleep and patience to find it.

Once you discover their spot, I guarantee you will be their guest. They are really receptive! 😁

How to be treated as an honored guest?

Found between 3 to 45 meters, Castanheta baia (Chromis limbata) is a common fish in Madeira Archipelago.

They are fantastic hosts!

These ones were found at 7 meters deep, between Fortress and Barreirinha Beach in Zona Velha.

During all the deep breaths and dives, they always approached in a gently and curiously way.

Their yellow colour contrast with the ocean blue making you really entertained.

Biodiversity richness of Santiago Fortress' Beach (Praia do Forte) is surprising!
