Porto Capelas

PORTO CAPELAS is a shallow, coastal dive site located in the Azores archipelago. The site typically features rocky seabed with moderate relief and easy entry from a shore-based point or small boat. Depths are gentle, making it suitable for beginner to intermediate divers, with most dives staying in the shallow to mid depths and no strong current expected. The area around Porto Capelas is known for clear Atlantic water and stable visibility, with seabed habitats that can host a variety of macro life such as small fish, nudibranchs, and sightlines across volcanic rock formations. The site is commonly explored as a relaxed drift or wall-friendly topography along the coast, with opportunities to observe marine life in and around rocky crevices.
