Princess Alice Bank is a submerged seamount far offshore in the Azores, known for one of the ocean's great spectacles: huge aggregations of graceful mobula rays. This is a thrilling blue-water dive for experienced divers.

Features

An offshore seamount that rises to about 35m (115ft) below the surface. The main attraction is the large schools of mobula rays that gather here in the summer. Divers hang on to a descent line to watch the spectacle in the open ocean.
