Lidador - Archaeological UW Park

This dive site is located in the Underwater Archaeological Park of Terceira Island, offering an accessible and easy dive experience perfect for beginners and those looking to refresh their skills. The site is characterized by shallow depths, making navigation straightforward. The underwater park itself may hold some historical artifacts, adding an element of interest to the dive. While not a complex dive in terms of navigation, careful attention to the surrounding environment is advised. The marine life here is diverse and abundant, despite the shallow depths. Divers can expect to encounter a variety of species, including scorpionfish, salema porgy, hermit crabs, spider crabs, nudibranchs, octopus, flounder, pufferfish, cardinalfish, wrasse, red mullet, and occasionally pelagic species. The variety of smaller creatures makes this a great spot for macro photography. The best time to visit Terceira Island for diving is during the warmer months (spring and summer), when the water temperature is more comfortable and visibility is generally better. For freedivers, the shallow depths and mild currents make this an ideal location for breath-hold dives. Remember to check weather and sea conditions before heading out and practice safe diving principles.
