About Willy Wonka
Willy Wonka is a boat-accessed volcanic reef off Ponta Delgada on Sao Miguel, named for the chocolate factory across the water. Rock outcrops and arches make it a scenic reef dive with a shallow-to-mid profile that stays friendly to newer divers while still giving enough structure for a fun route. Plan for a short boat ride from the marina, careful buoyancy through the arches, and better water clarity in the summer window.
