27. June - 15. October

Baixa Rosais is a marine protected area and the government gives us our time slots when we can be there. Usually we stay there for max 90 minutes and clear for the next boats to come. Therefore our departure time depends on the time slots given to us. We always combine the trip to Ambrosio with a second stop and do a second dive or snorkeling session. This place depends on the weather situation and changes day by day. Usually we stay 5 hours on the ocean for this combined trip. 
Please not: The trip might be a mixed trip for divers and snorkelers according to the booking situation. 

Mobula rays belong to the megafauna of the Atlantic Ocean and cover enormous distances in the ocean. In our megalodon research project, mobula are also equipped with satellite probes so that in the last few years we have learned a lot of information about the migrations of these graceful animals. They move south of the Azores and visit Madeira, Cape Verde and Sao Tome and Principe up to the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. They are always on the lookout for deep-sea mountains where they can cooperate with pelagic fish to form so-called feeding balls where hunting is easier. One of these deep-sea mountains is Baixa, which is located 8 nm northwest of the port and can be reached easily. This is a  paradise for divers but also for snorkelers as the mobula come up to the surface and gather in groups of sometimes up to 50 animals. 

On our trips you can often see dolphins, but our goal is snorkeling with mobula rays that swim right up to your mask. It is an impressive experience when such an animal with 4m wingspan passes by.
