12 Mergulho com Jamantas One of the most sought-after experiences by divers visiting S. Miguel is diving with manta rays, which often swim around divers so graciously it seems as if they are flying. This is a unique experience. This species, harmless to man, seeks out the currents which push the nutrients from the depths of the sea to the surface, swimming peacefully just a few meters under the surface, and can often be spotted from the boat swimming on the surface on days when the sea is calm. Of all the best locations for diving with manta rays, Season Challenge recommends the Formigas, baixa do Ambrósio or the Dollabarat reef located near of island of S. Miguel, which are also ideal spots for viewing large shoals of pelagic fish such as lírios, encharéus, barracuda and tuna, often in huge shoals in their thousands. Diving with Manta Rays

13 Diving with large pelagic fishes in the crystal clear waters of the Azores is without any doubt one of the most surprising experiences that our sea can provide to you. The experience of diving in the blue waters of the Azores with a fish which often grows to over 1 meter in length, swimming casually around divers, does not merely entail viewing the Mero,that many times is surrounded by thousands Fish in huge schools and numerous other species of small pelagic fishes. Given that the Mero is found relatively near from the coast, these trips usually reserve further surprises for divers, including several different species of dolphin and many species of sea birds such as gulls, terns and Cory's Shearwaters, sometimes is possible too observe whales.
