Making a little dream come true: Diving the Azores

A few weeks ago I went on a dive vacation to the island Pico, which belongs to the Azores. A little island, in the middle of the Atlantic ocean, far away from mainland,… the inspiration for this trip came from a photo show by a research diver which I watched and listened to a few years ago in Munich. On one of his research trips, he went to Pico to photograph blue sharks – which I found extremely fascinating at that time.

The trip to get there took rather long: Amsterdam – Lisbon (short overnight stay) – Pico. At the airport, I was picked up by CW Azores and driven to the dive center where I could unpack my gear and talk about my dive plan for the next few days. Then I walked to the hotel, which was located just behind the dive center where luckily my room was available for early check-in. From the balcony I enjoyed this view below – not too bad right? 🙂
