Portugal.. Azores Or Madeira?

[isntthatfab]

Hello divers! I am desperate to dive after three years out of the water and trying to decide where I want to go in Portugal. I have my AOW but I haven't dove for three years so I don't think I'll be doing anything too advanced.. but I'm really torn between where I should go and would appreciate any help!

Thanks,

Kelsey

I haven't dived in Madeira island properly, but on another island of the archipelago, Porto Santo and I have been to the Azores once (S. Miguel). I have no idea how the other islands are. There are nice dives, but the weather in the middle of the Atlantic is more unpredictable. Maybe Madeira is safer.
