The Azores have been considered by several media around the world as one of the few remaining underwater paradises of the Atlantic Ocean. Large groups of manta rays, jacks, Atlantic bonito and tunas are common to be observed in the water column while scuba diving. Also emblematic are the frequent encounters with large and friendly groupers. The Azores are, with no doubt, one of the best places for scuba diving of the whole Atlantic. Our diving spots are very diverse and can fit different preferences and levels of experience. Examples are the emblematic Princess Alice Bank, the marine protected area of the “Monte da Guia”, and the reefs in the Faial-Pico channel.
