Why dive here
With 219+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, blue whales, dolphins, dwarf minke whales and hammerhead sharks - CABEÇOS ILHÉU MOSTEIROS offers some of Azores's richest diving. Water ranges 16-24°C, warmest August, September, October.
Dropping down at Cabeços Ilhéu Mosteiros, you’ll find a series of volcanic pinnacles rising from the seabed, creating interesting swim-throughs and small caves. The site is around 29 metres deep, a good intermediate dive. We've often seen schools of barracuda circling the peaks, and the crevices sometimes hold moray eels. It’s a solid spot for divers looking for dramatic topography and pelagic encounters, without excessive current.
