About this site
Baixa Do Terceirense is a submerged shoal off the coast of Graciosa, one of the smaller islands in the Azores archipelago, in Portugal's mid-Atlantic territory north of Terceira. Sites described as a "baixa" in this region are reef banks rising from the seafloor, typically reached by boat from one of Graciosa's coastal towns. Divers here have reported blue jack mackerel, common dolphins, and skipjack tuna moving over the bank, species consistent with the open-water currents that sweep past these Azorean shoals.
