About diving in Portugal

Portugal’s Azores rise from the mid-Atlantic—blue sharks, mobulas, and seamount drama in cool, clear offshore water.

Charter boats and weather dictate diving; this is expedition Atlantic, not Algarve holiday reefs. Visibility and pelagics reward patience and dry layers on the surface.

For divers chasing Atlantic sharks and mobulas with comfortable cold-water gear, often combined with mainland food and culture.

Map entries support research notes and logging after your charter.
