About Portugal Dive Sao Miguel
About Portugal Dive Sao Miguel
Portugal Dive is a group of passionate Portuguese divers, who want nothing more than to dive with new friends and share their love for this incredible country and it’s underwater world. Having explored more than 250 diving spots - around the mainland, the Azores, and Madeira - nobody knows more about diving in Portugal. Whether you’re a laid-back recreational diver or an intrepid technical adventurer, Portugal Dive has all the information you need to choose the best dive spot or diving program. Plus, they’ll help you plan the dive and offer local support to ensure you dive the plan, visiting the sites you want to visit and seeing the sights you want to see. In other words... they worry, you dive.
The Resorts
Portugal Dive’s São Miguel trips offer two partner resorts which cater to different travel styles. Neat Hotel Avenida is a contemporary hotel which focuses on simplicity and unique Azorean hospitality. Rooms are spacious and tastefully decorated with mountain or city views. Hotel Marina Atlântico offers similar contemporary stylings, along with views of the marina, and a welfare spa complete with a swimming pool, treatment rooms and gym. Once the day’s diving is done, and on dry days, guests are able to explore the island at their own pace - be it whale watching, wandering through tea plantations, or hiking the dramatic volcanic peaks.
Diving with Portugal Dive Sao Miguel
The package offers a total of ten dives over five days focused on the incredible diving around São Miguel island - home to rays, sharks, amberjacks, and more. Portugal Dive works with the reputable Best Spot Azores on San Miguel, the only PADI & SSI Dive Center with 100% AWARE and Blue Oceans Partner in the Azores. Best Spot runs a fleet of three heavy duty RIBs for daily dives around Sao Miguel and is well known for its team of dive leaders that conduct marine biology research.
