Re: Azores again....

HI Mikko,

Going to Princess Alice Bank is the ideal place to go if you visit the Azores, but getting there is a problem! Most of the Big Game fishing boats don't seem that interested in taking spearo's ( I made a few enquiries earlier on in the year). Likewise, with the scuba diving charters. The other problem is that it is expensive, the fuel required for the 80 mile round trip is not cheap.I was quoted Eu700 for the day. If you try to spread the cost between a number of guy's then once the numbers go above 2-3 people it's gets difficult to do bluewater hunting (too many people in the water!).
If you plan to go to Pico, it might be cheaper to try to get someone to take you to the pinnacles between Faial and Pico in the channel, there are supposed to be a few good spots there.

Cheers

Justin
