Some information about diving:
João Lopes
Located in the west of the island, approximately 6 miles from the port, it is one of the unmissable dives that must be made on the island. It is a spot with volcanic seabed full of recesses where Barracuda, Grouper and Smerigli can be found, and also there are frequent passages of Mante.
This spot extends from 17 to 50 meters deep.
Baixa de São Lourenço
Located in front of the bay of São Lourenço, in the east of the island, approximately 11 miles from the port, it is another unmissable diving spot that Santa Maria has to offer. We find a joint of submarine pinnacles with an extension between 17 and 50 meters. It is common to meet schools of Barracuda, Smerigli, Groupers, Moonfish and Triggerfish
Ambrósio
Located in the northern part of the island 9 miles from the port, this spot is considered one of the best in Europe for diving. Normally we find groups of 12/17 Rays and Mantas but it can happen to spot groups of 40/50! This spot is a reserve created specifically for diving.
Pedrinha
Located in the southern part of the island, 4 miles from the port. The spot is made up of countless underwater ridges, amazing lava formations and underwater canyons. There are also two tunnels that divers can easily walk through. Shoals of triggerfish and ocean amberjacks can be spotted, among others. It is very common to encounter different crustaceans. This spot is a reserve created specifically for diving.
Gruta Azul
Located in the eastern part of the island approximately 11 miles from the port. The maximum depth is 17 meters and at a depth of 13-14 meters we find a cave with 3 possible entrances that cross the island from one point to the other.
Baixa da Maia
Located in the eastern part of the island, 8 miles from the port, this spot is located on a small island in front of the town of Vila Maia. The islet measures 10m in length and starting from the surface we can dive from 18 to 28m in depth. This spot is a reserve created specifically for diving.
