About Best Spot Azores Dive Center
Best Spot Azores is a dual-certified SSI and PADI dive centre located at Marina Pêro de Teive in the heart of Ponta Delgada. Recognised as the first PADI 5-Star AWARE Dive Resort in the Azores and a Blue Oceans Partner, they set the standard for responsible dive tourism across the archipelago. Every dive is led by qualified marine biologists who double as dive leaders.
Their dive programme covers a wide range of São Miguel's underwater sites — from shallow volcanic reef dives teeming with colourful nudibranchs and moray eels to deeper offshore seamounts where encounters with manta rays, blue sharks, and mobula rays are possible during summer months. They offer the full PADI and SSI course ladder, from Discover Scuba Diving taster sessions for beginners through to Divemaster and Instructor-level training, plus specialty courses in underwater photography and deep diving.
What makes Best Spot exceptional is their unwavering focus on marine conservation and education. They hold PADI Green Star and Elite Instructor awards, maintain the only 5-star average review rating among Azorean dive centres, and limit group sizes to ensure both diver safety and minimal environmental impact. Their shop and briefing room at the marina make logistics seamless for visiting divers.
