Faial
Azores' exceptional scuba diving conditions including the climate level and the influence of ocean currents, make it possible to observe several species of wildlife and a variety of underwater flora. The Haliotis Diving Centre is the largest one you'll find in Faial.

Scuba divers will be able to explore the breath-taking underwater fauna: schools of manta rays, jackfish and tuna easy to spot when diving in open water. You'll also have emblematic encounters with large groupers, moray eels and many other colourful fish. The Azores are undoubtedly one of the best places to go diving in Europe. You'll find dive sites to suit all tastes and levels of experience, such as the iconic Princess Alice Bank, Bank of Condor and the low canal between Faial and Pico, among many others.

All the lessons, courses and excursions can be conducted in English, French, Spanish and of course Portuguese.
