Where to Go Diving in Portugal

The answer to the question of where to go diving in Portugal is simple. The Azores. While the mainland offers some diving, what you find on a diving holiday to the Azores is world-class. Mantas, mobulas, devil rays...even whale sharks. You don't need much more of an excuse to visit!
