Join the first Azores Manta Conservation Experience liveaboard!
Every year, dozens of manta rays and sicklefin devil rays gather in the Azorean Sea, near the Island of Santa Maria. Where do they come from? Where do they go? Do the same individuals return every year? These are some of the questions that arise from the curiosity of the scientists and of all those who are passionate about these mysterious animals.
Increasing knowledge about these species, the Manta Catalog Azores conservation project, founded in 2012, observes and studies these iconic fish to better understand how we can ensure their conservation.
For the first time, it is possible to join the team leading this conservation project.
For one week, you will be able to swim in the fantastic underwater world of the Azores and learn more about the devil rays that exist in the area. Learn about techniques of photo identification, meet the scientists and contribute to the protection of these threatened species.
An immersive and unique experience that contributes to ocean conservation.
