Question Dive shops in the Azores on Pico Island

[Rach2oh]

We're going to the Azores Islands with about a week on Pico Island and it seems there are two dive shops that take you to Princess Alice Bank - CW Azores and another one called Pico-Sport. Anyone have any experience with either of these? Their offerings and pricing are so different that it's making it tough to decide.

Hi,

Sorry for off topic.

There is official website from Azores government with information Azores Scuba Diving.

Please be aware that diving Princess Alice Bank is extremely adventurous, it's open ocean, where talking about 3 hours boat ride and minimum 30 meters deep dive, Princesa Alice.

Azores have beautiful dive spots, if you want remote open ocean dive spots I suggest starting with Formigas Ilhéus das Formigas.

Best regards

Thanks, Pedro. We are starting at Santa Maria and plan to go to Formigas from there.
