Our resort restaurants have long been described as "world class" and the "best food we have ever had on a dive vacation"; it's no different on Azores. We proudly adhere to our principle of only serving freshly "a la minute" prepared meals and snacks all day.

Our chef will be pleased to look after your personal dietary requirements and to date no one has ever left Azores hungry! Start the day with a light continental breakfast of freshly baked bread, cereals, yogurts and fruit. After the first dive you sit down to a full breakfast – meats, cheeses, sweet selections and of course eggs any way you choose.

Lunches and dinners have been selected from our most popular resort blackboard menu items and are served family style: Fresh seafood, Filipino favorites as well as a selection of pastas, salads and homemade soups.

If the regular selection of snacks, meals and drinks does not satisfy your appetite the boat has a snack and drinks bar open all day – brew your own fresh cup of coffee or tea, enjoy a homemade cookie or other tasty delicacies.

All the drinks on board are complimentary and in addition you may bring your own beverages (there are no corkage fees). Stocked beverages include: Fresh blended juice; Calamansi (local citrus fruit) juice; Lime juice; Ice Tea, Coffee, A selection of Tea, Milk; Filtered drinking water; Coke; Coke Zero; Sprite; San Miguel Beer Pale Pilsner; San Miguel Beer Light; Tanduay Rum (one of the best in the world) and red and white wine.
