Rabo De Peixe

Rabo de Peixe in the Azores is a coastal town on São Miguel Island that serves as a gateway for local diving. While the region isn’t a major mainland dive hub, it offers access to nearby reefs, walls, and volcanic formations around São Miguel and surrounding Azorean waters. With a single local dive center and several nearby dive sites, divers often use Rabo de Peixe as a base for day trips to explore Atlantic seabeds, marine life typical of temperate Atlantic waters, and conditions that can vary seasonally.
