About Us

We are a couple passionate about the sea who, in 2008, left mainland Portugal to pursue a dream: to create a dive center where each person could experience the ocean in their own way. That’s how Octopus Diving Center was born — in Praia da Vitória, right next to the largest sandy beach on Terceira Island.

From day one, we’ve been joined by our Dive Master and local dive guide — a true expert in these waters and an essential part of the experience we offer. Today, we are the most experienced dive center on the island, united by knowledge, professionalism, and a deep love for the sea.

We offer personalized diving experiences for all levels, recreational diving certifications, snorkeling tours, internationally recognized SSI dive courses, refresh dives, and unique adventures like swimming with dolphins or diving at the underwater volcano of Banco D. João de Castro.

More than just a dive, we want each visit to feel like the fulfillment of a dream — always with safety, joy, a relaxed atmosphere, and a profound respect for the ocean. That’s what has driven us for over 15 years.
