Hello from Portugal

[cottim]

Hello,

Just some words to say "hello" and introduce myself.
My name is Armando and I'm from Portugal. I've been diving for almost a year and I liked it so much that I left mu job (computer programming) to become scuba diving magazine editor.
Bye for now

Hello Armando, welcome to the family here at ScubaSource! Glad to have you here.

Hello Cottim

Nice to have you here. And of course we would LOVE to dive in Portugal

Thanks Mario and Gozumutti.
Diving here is simple. Get a plane and I'll be pleased to organize the diving.

No problem!

Just let me know when the plane arrives!

My instructor just opened a center in Algarve and the place is known that the Portuguese Caribean.

 

[gozumutti]

hey Cottim- where in the algarve...albufeira, armaçao, faro? were exactly?

 

[cottim]

Sagres, my friend.
It is the SW corner of the country.
Clear water, 10+ different sites.
Diving here takes a 7mm suit, though, because our water is around 17 C these days.

We have 2 or 3 other places deserving a visit (when somebody comes from another country). Berlenga island is beautiful; Sesimbra is great.

Then Madeira has phantastic places and Azores are a wonder (9 different islands, 9 different diving worlds)!
