Full Dive Day - Double Dive and DSD

What an amazing day with a double dive in the morning and a Discover Scuba Dive Program (DSD) in the afternoon.

If you are a certified diver and you are staying in São Miguel island for your holidays, you can't leave the island without diving in the famous Dori shipwreck. An old World War II cargo ship with 130 meters of length full of marine life to observe. In the rocky site of Ponta do Cavaco there is a beautiful and majestic arch with colorful wrasse species,blue damselfish, white seabream among other interesting creatures.

For the DSD sea section we went to Capelas (on the North coast) and we start the dive by the coast. It is a rocky site with an easy entrance for the water that gradually becomes deeper. In this DSD we saw a big school of sardines, white seabream, several wrasse and blennies species.
