We began our adventure in Lisbon, soaking in the city’s history, food, and energy before heading to Sesimbra, where calm Atlantic waters set the stage for our first dives. From there, the group traveled to the Azores to experience volcanic seascapes, marine life, and the dramatic beauty of São Miguel. The trip concluded in Madeira, where clear blue waters, steep cliffs, and vibrant marine ecosystems made for incredible final dives and snorkeling. Between dives and island excursions, the group shared amazing meals, local wine, and the camaraderie that defines every Scuba Center trip.
