Diving in Portugal

Explore diving in Portugal

Portugal is possibly the most diverse diving destination in Europe. With a long Atlantic coastline, diving takes place at locations around the country. In addition to the mainland, divers flock to the Portuguese islands which include Madeira and the Azores.

Wreck enthusiasts delight in Portugal’s sunken ships and submarines from its long maritime history. In addition to this historical encyclopaedia of wrecks, many marine reserves and parks provide plentiful habitat for fish life and coral.

Open ocean dives near Madeira and the Azores entertain pelagic lovers. The Azores is one of the only places in the world to dive over a live volcano. While you may not visit Portugal explicitly for the diving, you won’t be disappointed when you jump in the water.
