Coastal Diving
Coastal Snorkelling
The Azores are undoubtedly one of the best diving and snorkelling destinations in the Atlantic. Our diving-snorkelling season runs from April to October. Our sites are very diverse and can cater for all preferences and levels of experience, with more than 20 sites between the islands of Faial and Pico.
Diving Snorkellinkg with sharks
Join us on this most exciting excursion! These trips take place from July to September, and we go to the dive site in semi-rigid boats, so it's a half-day trip. On this trip, you'll have the opportunity to see one of the fastest fish in the ocean, the blue shark (Prionace glauca). It's a once-in-a-lifetime experience, where you have the chance to be in the world of this incredible predator.
Princess Alice Bank (Diving with Mantas)
Diving with Mantas (Mobula tarapacana) is classed as one of the best dives in the Azores. It is located on an underwater bank called "Princesa Alice", about 45 nautical miles south of Faial Island, at a depth of 35 metres. In this experience, you'll have the chance to dive into the heart of the ocean with these majestic animals. Occasionally, you'll also have the chance to see Tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis), Barracudas (Sphyraena viridensis) and Lilies (Seriola rivoliana).
