Professional area

Because we believe that sharing knowledge also means protecting it, Espaço Talassa has, since its creation, welcomed scientists, photographers, filmmakers, and journalists from around the world.
To support them, we have developed dedicated logistics at reduced professional rates, allowing you to make the most of your time in the Azores, even during short stays.

Sea conditions, light, species present, and the nature of each project are carefully considered before each departure. As a professional, you can choose the best moment to head out to sea.

Since 1999, all audiovisual and research projects in the Azores require an official permit. We will gladly assist you with the administrative process and applications to local authorities.

If you are planning a project, please contact us for a personalized budget and organization plan.
