Cave Deep Reef
Cinco Rebeiras is a village situated on the south-western coast of the island of Terceira. The surrounding coast is constituted by lava flows that originated lava arches and lava tubes. The particular morphology of this area enabled the formation of one of the most famous underwater caves of Terceira – Cinco Rebeiras Cave. It is also the site of the Union, which sank here on the 26 June 1911. Not much of this can be seen now, mostly just the boiler which is at the start of the dive.
