" THE LIMIT IS YOUR IMAGINATION "
Azores Islands
​The Condor Bank - Pico
The Condor Reef is the most popular place to dive with sharks, especially the blue shark. Here we feel the adrenaline running through our bodies, an intense experience!
While we hike in the "blue" we are aware of shadows that move cautiously beneath us and that are approaching very slowly and with great caution. The blue shark is curious by nature and is approaching and inspecting both the divers and the boat, swimming slowly between them.
An unforgettable dive without a doubt!
Duration: 3 to 5 Days
Certification: AOWD
Depth: 0 to 200m
​Banco Dom João de Castro - Terceira
This spot is actually a submerged volcano, having had its last eruption in 1720. Its top is about 13mts deep,
Its present dimensions are about 250mts in height and 1,5km in diameter. Its name is due to the name of the ship that was found after it was submerged in 1941.
The dive is made around the "boiler" of the volcano (there is still seismic and volcanic activity).
This place, far from any of the islands, is fantastic for observing big pelagic fish like Bicuda, Indian mackerel, Atlantic Cutlassfish, and Salemas as well as turtles Manta rays, and several species of cetaceans.
Recommended for experienced divers.
Duration: 3 to 5 Days
Certification: AOWD
Depth: 18 to 60m
Baixa das Eagle Rays - Graciosa
A platform that starts at 26 meters in-depth, with some rock formations.
Here we can observe eagle rays, as we say, they are residents so for sure we will meet them.
it is not an easy dive, some current is expected because it is located 1,5 miles from the coast in the open sea.
Duration: 3 to 5 Days
Certification: AOWD
Depth: 26 to 45m
​Baixa do Ambrósio - Santa Maria
This reef is one of the most sought-after spots, even though it is considered a deep dive. The reason for that is that the bottom is found at 50mts. Many opt to stay on the rope between 2 and 15mts, to observe the huge shoals of fish, devil rays, etc. For the more experienced divers, the bottom also offers life in abundance. We can see great Stingrays, Red scorpionfish, shoals of Amberjacks, and Bluefish. This place is also fantastic for snorkelling, although there may be moderate currents.
Duration: 3 to 5 Days
Certification: AOWD
Depth: 10 to 50m
Banco Princesa Alices - Faial
This place has an extensive area with depths around 30 to 40mts, falling abruptly to greater depths.
We descend and climb up the cape of the anchor, observing the magnificent species that inhabit this location. You go into the water and it's already an unforgettable experience!
The Banco Princesa Alice (Princess Alice Bank) is considered one of the best and most well-known dive sites in the Azores. Only recommended for experienced divers, it is far from a harbour and prone to strong currents. It also requires diving to considerable depths.
Departing from the Horta Harbour or from Madalena, the long trip (about 3 hours) to cover the 45-50 miles that separate this bank from Faial and Pico, gives ample opportunity to spot whales, turtles and seabirds, in addition to friendly dolphins that escort the bow of the boat.
Duration: 3 to 5 Days
Difficulty: AOWD
Depth: 35 to 60m
Madeira Islands
Corveta Afonso Cerqueira - Madeira
The cargo ship "Madeirense" lays about a mile away from the coast and about 34mts below the surface. Here we can find marine spiders, anemones, and all kinds of marine life. There are also reefs off the coast nearby and even an archaeological dive site to see ancient cannons.
A ship that has been part of the history of Madeira's maritime transport awaits you a few meters deep, becoming real artificial reefs where you can get in and out of its cabins, surrounded by thousands of fish. It is said that it’s a unique spot to dive. That fills our soul with the sound of silence that accompanies us during the dive and that lets the sunshine in through the transparent and turquoise waters that only this island can offer.
Duration: 3 to 5 Days
Certification: AOWD
Depth: 15 - 30m
Ancoras - Porto Santo
This spot is called "Anchors" due to abandoned local fisher boat anchors.
Our anchor buoy is at 6mts depth. It is an ideal dive site for Discover Scuba Divers, beginners, check dives, and snorkelling. This site, like most Porto Santo dive sites, is inside the golden breams protected marine reserve with abundant fish life all along the southern edge of the Ilheu de Cima, which drops right into the sea with no beaches.
As our most frequented dive site, the fish are very used to divers and usually accompany us throughout the whole dive. Expect to see golden breams, parrotfish, sea bream, spider crabs, the occasional moray or octopus, and triggerfish — a very relaxing dive.
Duration: 3 to 5 Days
Certification: AOWD
Depth: 10 - 15m
A Gruta - Madeira
After dropping the anchor just off the Ilheu de Cima, you do an 8 min swim over rocks and boulders to reach the small cavern with a bottom of very fine sand. After carefully entering you can ascend a few meters into a short chimney. Often you meet a large black ray just outside the cavern.
Inside the cavern, shine your torch up to see bogues and sea bream, and once you have explored again, revisit the rocks outside to search for well-hidden lobsters and moray eels. Over the sand and rocky bottom a little further away, you will spot more sea bream, parrotfish and triggerfish—an exciting dive comprising a mix of environments.
Duration: 3 to 5 Days
Certification: AOWD
Depth: 18 - 26m
Baixa do Max - Porto Santo
Baixa do Max, is located inside the bay of Porto Santo, very close to Ilhéu de Cima, and within the Marine Protected Area. The name is due to a great Grouper that existed there, known as Max.
The dive site consists of spectacular vertical volcanic walls and rocks and boulders of various sizes over a sandy bottom. It is just inside the protected marine reserve, and the fish life is very good, with resident groupers as well as all the other common species.
The current can be quite strong, mainly at the mid-tide of the high tides associated with the full moon and new moon.
Duration: 3 to 5 Days
Certification: AOWD
Depth: 18 - 26m
