Deep Blue Azores Diving Center was founded in 2017 by Nuno Oliveira and Antonio 'Toni' Silva, two experienced local divers and seamen, and is based at Porto Pipas on Terceira island in the Azores archipelago. The centre is run as a small, personal operation by its two founders and a caring team who pride themselves on a safe, welcoming atmosphere for divers of all abilities, set against the dramatic volcanic landscape and clear Atlantic waters the Azores are known for. Dive sites mentioned by the centre include Split Rock, Coral Valley and the Lidador shipwreck. Visitors highlight the hosts' warmth and attentiveness both in and out of the water, describing dive safaris around the islands and trips suitable for young or first-time divers alike.
