About SABRINA
Sabrina is a boat-dive area off the western tip of São Miguel in the Azores, built around an ancient volcanic cone and reef ring. The site combines sheltered reef water with a central pinnacle, so divers can work the reef for small animals and enjoy passes from mantas, rays, wrasse, blennies, scorpionfish, and other Atlantic life when currents line up. It suits relaxed planning, local boat timing, and a comfortable pace more than a hard technical profile.
