FAQ
How big are the groupers at Garajau?
The dusky groupers at Garajau are among the largest in Europe, with individuals regularly exceeding 30 kilograms and some estimated at over 50 kilograms. Decades of strict marine protection have allowed these normally shy fish to reach impressive sizes and lose their fear of divers. They approach closely, sometimes within arm's reach, and will follow divers throughout a dive. The density of large groupers at Garajau is considered one of the highest in the Atlantic, making it a benchmark for what marine protection can achieve.
What are the rules for diving in the Garajau Marine Reserve?
Diving in Garajau requires authorization from the reserve management and must be conducted through licensed dive operators. The number of divers is limited daily to reduce impact. Touching marine life is strictly prohibited, and gloves may not be worn to discourage contact. Spearfishing and collecting are banned. Anchoring is prohibited, with dive boats using permanent mooring buoys. These restrictions have been in place since the reserve was established in 1986 and are credited with the remarkable recovery of marine life, particularly the grouper population.
When might I see monk seals at Garajau?
Mediterranean monk seal sightings at Garajau are rare but documented, as a small population inhabits caves along Madeira's coast. Sightings are more likely during the summer months from June to September when the seals are more active. The Desertas Islands southeast of Madeira host the main monk seal colony, and individuals occasionally range to the Garajau reserve. Any encounter should be treated with extreme care, maintaining maximum distance and avoiding any behaviour that might disturb this critically endangered species.
