Lajes Do Pico

Lajes do Pico is a coastal administrative region in the Azores, Portugal, with access to Atlantic dive sites around Pico Island. Local diving focuses on bay and coastal sites with volcanic rock formations, clear Atlantic water, and mild temperatures. Divers typically explore underwater lava flows, rocky reefs, and cave-like features near the island’s shore. The area serves as a gateway for nearby dive sites around Pico and neighboring Azorean islands, with a mix of shore and boat entries and a relaxed, Atlantic diving environment.
