About

Found in São Miguel (Azores), Dive Center Azores Sub Centro de Mergulho e Loja is a diving centre. The address is Marina da Vila AZORES SUB Dive Center, 9680-187 Vila Franca Do Campo, Portugal, placing it on the island's southern coast. The centre operates from Vila Franca do Campo, a harbour town within easy reach of Ponta Delgada and Furnas.

Certification requirements depend on the dives offered, with the centre running programmes for qualified divers and introductory sessions for those without a licence. Divers can expect the volcanic reefs and marine life of the Azores, with the waters around Vila Franca do Campo serving as the local diving ground. All diving kit is supplied by the centre, so nothing needs to be brought along. Novices, youngsters and qualified divers are all welcomed, which suits groups of mixed ability and families. With 4.9 out of 5 from 561 reviews, the centre sits among the island's best-regarded diving operations.

Five photographs are attached to the listing, showing the centre and its surroundings ahead of a visit. The website at http://www.azoressub.com/ carries the centre's own information for those planning dives in advance.

The mild oceanic climate keeps the landscapes green throughout the year, with summer bringing the driest and warmest conditions. Portuguese cooking on the islands leans on fresh seafood, local cheeses and wines grown in volcanic soil, and makes a filling meal after a day in the water. The main language is Portuguese, with English widely used in tourist areas. Direct flights from mainland Portugal and Europe serve the islands, while São Miguel's roads connect the centre with Ribeira Grande, Lagoa and Nordeste.
