Snorkelling in Santa Maria
Description
At the time indicated, we'll meet at the dive centre inside the Hotel Colombo. There, we'll have a brief safety talk and get our snorkeling equipment and climb onboard the minibus that will take us to the port. Get ready to dive into the crystal waters of Santa Maria.
We will then board our boat and head out into the Atlantic to find the ideal snorkeling spot. After a briefing, done by our staff on board, we'll take a first dive of 30 to 45 minutes and spot tuna, swordfish, and even turtles.
Santa Maria offers incredible marine life for snorkeling. Among the animals we can see are wrasses, triggerfish, Atlantic damselfish, octopus, cuttlefish, sea urchins and starfish. The crystal-clear waters and the diversity of species make snorkeling in Santa Maria a unique experience!
Through the activity, always remember to respect the marine environment and follow safe and responsible diving practices.
After the snorkeling activity, we'll return to the boat to enjoy the view while having a small snack. Once we've rested for about half an hour, we'll do our second dive of the day.
We'll spend the next 30-45 minutes admiring the beauty of the Azorean seabed and we may even catch a glimpse of some beautiful stingrays, corals, and sponges.
After this last snorkeling experience, we'll return to the port and take you back to the original starting point, where we'll end our activity after 6 hours.
