Experience the sea at your own rhythm

Discover Faial through freediving, a unique experience that combines underwater exploration, breath control and a deep connection with the ocean. In crystal-clear waters and volcanic landscapes, each dive is done at your own pace, promoting tranquillity, well-being and environmental awareness.

There are also offshore trips, where you can explore deeper waters and increase your chances of encountering species such as sharks and manta rays.

There are also certified courses and training sessions for those wishing to develop their technical skills.
