About this site
Dori seamount off São Miguel island is a hard-coral-encrusted pinnacle famous among Azorean dive guides as the best shark dive in the archipelago away from the famous outer banks. Common blue sharks circle inquisitively at 20–40 m while sperm whale pods occasionally pass deeper below, and the abundant macro life on the seamount top includes large nudibranchs and colourful sea slugs rare elsewhere in the North Atlantic. Best dived from a RIB in calm summer conditions.
