Azores diving and snorkeling

[JMBL]

Sorry no more suggestions to make : never went to Sao Miguel. I know there are some good dives around Pico, especially one organised to meet blue whalers. And don't miss the wines !

I have a friend who is on Sao Miguel right now. Any advice on where to dive? Locations and dive ops would be appreciated. They do things on the fly and don't already have plans. If they dive that's ok - if not, that's ok too. Just thought I'd see if I could get some ideas for them.

I dived with Azores sub in Vila Franco do Campo just down the road from Ponta Delgada. They were really good and I would recommend them

Princess alice and blue shark diving! Would recommend Norberto on faial island to do these - season is from July

Norberto is indeed a terrific guy. Had no luck with blue sharks though... Princess Alice's bank is a must too.

And don't miss the wines !

Ah man they were fantastic! I don't ususally like white wine but the lady who we rented the airbnb from left us a bottle, and we ended up buying a few more!

If you live in the States, I think you should be able to find some of them.

I am going in May to the Azores, so any other suggestions would be great, we are staying on Sao Miguel first then a week on Pico before returing to Sao Miguel

How was your trip? Any advice you could give? We're looking to go to the Azores in late June through early July for diving and hiking. Thanks!
