Diving in the Azores. A beauty in the heart of the Atlantic Ocean

Diving in the Azores

A true paradise for lovers of pelagic life.

Diving in the Azores is choosing a wilder, more authentic, and unique destination within Europe. Its volcanic underwater landscapes, the variety of dives among caves, walls, reefs, and wrecks, along with the presence of large pelagics, ensure that each descent has a very special character. In its underwater mountains, it is common to find large schools of fish, manta rays, and in some spots, even sharks, with visibility that can exceed 30 meters. All of this makes the Azores one of those destinations that captivate those seeking a more adventurous and memorable diving experience.

While Portugal may not be at the top of your list for diving destinations, we assure you that you will be pleasantly surprised by the underwater richness you will discover while exploring its waters.

Fuvahmulah x Playa del Carmen

We had booked the trip to Fuvahmulah and due to the war we had to change it with very few days' notice and without any problems. Communication and management were great, we will definitely repeat.

100% recommended

I was supposed to go to Fuvahmulah but due to the Iran conflict the flights were cancelled. The Scubafinders team responded quickly and were available at all times both by email and phone, making the process very easy. They have already processed my refund and I'm really looking forward to being able to take a trip with them, as they have proven to be very professional despite all the external problems that have arisen.

Incredible experience.

Incredible experience. Fast and transparent management with Scuba at all times. We had the bad luck of the war and they gave us security at all times (peace of mind with a 100% refund). They provide you with the documents to fly, insurance, etc. They work in Fuvahmulah with an amazing diving company, super professional, with very direct and fluid contact with them. Great hotel (food, comforts, cleanliness…), top airlines (Etihad). We contacted them about a diving accident, they responded on a Saturday, with full availability. Honestly, for the price they have and the quality of service, it's impossible to find another company like this, even cheaper than if you try to do it on your own (they really pass on their advantages in costs). Take advantage of the staff they have (especially Jorge), and give them a vote of confidence. 100% recommended.

Excellent management and customer service

I want to highlight the incredible attention and professionalism of Scubafinders. Although we ultimately couldn't make our trip due to the flight being cancelled because of the war situation, their treatment was impeccable at all times. From the start of the booking process they were always present, attentive to every detail and resolving all our doubts with speed and warmth. But what really makes the difference is how they responded when the problem arose: they handled everything in an agile, clear and completely transparent manner. In just one week we had the full amount back, without complications or uncertainty. That peace of mind and trust are priceless. Without a doubt, a serious, committed company with exceptional customer service. I recommend them 100% and, without hesitation, I would trust them again for future trips. Thank you Jorge, Javier and Gonzalo!

I'm delighted with Scuba Finders. I have travelled with other companies and I can clearly say I won't change again. All the diving I do from now on will be with them. They are close, serious, professional and I also want to highlight that Jorge has been lovely and always attentive to any need I have had, before, during and after the trip.

Failed trip due to the war

Unfortunately due to the war in Iran our trip to the Maldives that we had booked with Scuba Finders was ruined. During the preparation of the trip they were super attentive and available for any query. Two days before the flight to the Maldives was due to depart the war started, we got in touch and as soon as the flight cancellation was confirmed, they said they would take charge of the full refund of the trip price. Within the stated timeframe they refunded the money and called us to let us know. It was my first diving trip with them and the truth is they give a lot of security when we've had problems. We didn't have to worry about anything and they handled everything to refund the money. Highly recommended and I'm sure that for the next trip I take I will go to them.

We went on a diving trip to Malta

We went on a diving trip to Malta and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Scuba Finders has everything very well organized, and everything went smoothly. The Malta trip was very complete and all the dives were excellent. We’ll definitely travel with them to other destinations, as they’ve given us a lot of confidence. A special mention to Gonzalo, who was attentive at all times and made sure everything went perfectly. See you on the next one 😉

We’ve just returned from Malta and everything went really well. From the communication and support before the trip, to the travel documentation package—including a backpack—and all the logistics in Malta, everything was excellent. The dives are outstanding for wreck enthusiasts, and the Scuba Malta team was top-notch. We’ll definitely be back.
