Dive Azores

Explore the unspoiled Atlantic paradise of Horta with marine biologists for safe diving and respectful whale encounters.

Dive Azores is a whale watching eco-operator and dive resort based in Horta on Faial Island. Operating since 2002 and run by marine biologists, the business offers respectful and educational tours to observe whales and dolphins while supporting long-term research projects. The diving operation features daily half-day trips with two dives at various sites around Faial and Pico islands. The itinerary is flexible and customized based on diver experience and current sea conditions. Most dive sites are within a 10-20 minute boat ride from the marina, allowing for efficient use of time in the water. Safety is emphasized through small group sizes limited to 5-6 divers per guide, detailed briefings, and conservative multilevel profiles. The team also offers specialized experiences such as night dives, shark diving, and trips to remote sites like Princess Alice Bank.
