Scuba diving is among the best in the world, despite (or because!) the cold Atlantic conditions. Yet, the Azores are rated as the new discovery in the diving business. Most diving locations guarantee an encounter with the big fishes of the Atlantic and offer spectacular lava formations. The underwater scenery alters between basaltic rock formations with canyons and caves and open sand flats. Each little cave or rock can be home to a variety of large and small marine animals.

The dive site is chosen on the same day or the day before on the level of each diver, your preferences and sea conditions. After site selection is carried out a briefing which included technical informa-tion of the site, their biodiversity and ways to minimize the impact of the activity.
