Flores and Corvo are the remote westernmost Azores islands, offering pristine, rarely dived walls that plunge into the deep Atlantic. Ponta do Albernaz and Caneiro dos Meros host huge gorgonians, black coral and massive dusky groupers, while Gruta dos Enxaréus on Corvo is a cathedral-like sea cave. The underwater basalt columns of Rocha dos Bordões add dramatic geology.
