Diving trip to the Azores, a small paradise in the middle of the Atlantic

Diving trip to the Azores, in this small paradise in the middle of the Atlantic, which offers a wide choice of dives, from 13 to 50 meters deep, also thanks to the generally very good visibility. The island of Santa Maria in the southern part of the archipelago has got a hot and dry climate. The dives are proposed from July to October, months in which the water temperature varies between 18 ° and 24 °. The visibility in the Azores sea is generally higher than 30 meters. During the summer it is also possible to meet some whale sharks, but the seabed is populated by manta rays, barracudas and triggerfish. To enrich the whole spectacular caves and pinnacles. There are opportunities also for underwater photographers, who can discover small forms of marine life even at a depth of less than 20 meters. We recommend a 7 mm semi-dry wetsuit, it is necessary to have the PADI open water certification or similar.

Among the dives not to be missed:

  • Joao Lopez: from 17 to 50 meters, its volcanic seabed is full of many barracuda, Cerne and emery are hidden, and there are also many  manta rays.
  • Baixa de Sao Lourenco : pinnacles extending from 17 to 50 meters, with shoals of barracudas, sunfish and triggerfish
  • Ambrosio: reserve created specifically for diving. Here you can meet groups of rays
  • Pedrihna: canyons and underwater ridges, also a spot recreated for underwater activity, royal encounters with many crustaceans as well as triggerfish and amberjacks.
  • Gruta Azul: the name itself suggests that it is a cave at a depth of 17 meters with 3 different entrances.
  • Baixa da Maia: an islet of about 10 meters that offers diving from 18 to 28 meters deep.

But not only diving, this island is also ideal for those who want to indulge in some outdoor excursions, known as the “island of the sun” is rich in landscape and famous for its white beaches!
