Diving in Azores
The diving in the Azores is ok altough not as spectacular as expected. The two good dive sites are a bit special because you have to dive it on a line. This can cause ear problems, when it it is choppy. The other dive sites are rader boring and there is not much to see. The weather is a really big factor and it can change in minutes. This makes it for the crew impossible to plan more then a day. The crew is really friendly and they give their best to help and adapt. However, I wouldn‘t book this trip again.
