Água De Pau

Água de Pau is a town on São Miguel Island in the Azores, Portugal. It’s not a coastal city for diving itself, but the Azores archipelago is known for world-class diving. Nearby dive sites are accessible from several coastal towns on São Miguel, with a mix of lava tubes, walls, and rich marine life. Water is temperate year-round, with clear visibility in good conditions, and divers typically reach popular sites by boat from the island’s coast. Local diving activity centers mainly on the broader Azores region rather than in Água de Pau itself, so visitors often base themselves in nearby towns with direct access to multiple dive centers and shore and boat dives.
