Princess Alice Bank (Diving with Mantas)

Norberto Serpa — Wed, 31 Jan 2024 08:48:27 +0000

Diving with manta rays (Mobula tarapacana) is considered one of the best dives in the Azores. It takes place on an underwater bank known as “Princesa Alice”, around 45 nautical miles south of the island of Faial. On this dive, you will have the opportunity to dive into the heart of the ocean with these majestic creatures. Large schools of skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis), barracuda (Sphyraena viridensis) and yellowtail (Seriola rivoliana) are also occasionally spotted.

These trips take place from July to September, usually from 7.30 am to 7.00 pm. The trip lasts 3 hours each way; upon arrival, we carry out the first dive, return to the boat for an hour’s surface interval whilst having a light lunch, and then do the second dive.

Diving with manta rays is also an excellent opportunity for non-certified divers, as the manta rays and other pelagic species come to the surface. The boat is anchored and divers and freedivers stay close to the boat; safety lines will be attached to the boat for days with strong currents and for less experienced divers.

Includes

Explanation of the activity and safety rules
Boat with skipper
Dive guide
Tanks and weight belt
Snack between dives (sandwiches, water, tea, coffee, fruit and biscuits)
Excludes

Equipment is not included in the price. A charge of €20 per day applies for the hire of a full set of equipment.
