Hi there
We’re in the Azores (Sao Miguel) and have enjoyed 2 days of diving. Viz is good and the Dori Wreck was nice. Other than that the water is cold and we’ve mostly seen “fish” - add in a few nudies, 1 octopus, barracudas and a large grouper. We have decided not to do any more “close to shore” diving here on Sao Miguel.
Thursday there’s a trip to the offshore islets of Formigas and Dollabarat. And initially I was very keen on going, but then I searched for videos of the dive sites and found most videos had few mantas/mobulas and big groupers … if I pay 230 € and get on a rib to sail 2.5 hours out in the open sea, I think I might be disappointed…
Has anyone done the trip and can share their experience?
After Sao Miguel we’re going to Pico and hope to do Princess Alice Bank and do the “shark dive”. Any experiences with those trips would be appreciated as well.
Thank you.
