Hi Fernando,
that is just the kind of info I needed to get. 20+ m viz is GREAT news. I talked to another guy who is from madeira and he said he used 6,5 mm so I guess that would work too. Maybe I'll get a 5mm suit to be sure and bring both, I don't have a camo suit so this trip is a good excuse to get one.

So you are from the Azores and your girlfriend is from Madeira, sounds like you never really have to leave the sea. Where in the azores do you live?

I read in another place about the food and drinks in madeira and it sounds great. I am going to try the tuna and alot of 'espetada'. Also looking forward to the honey cake I read about. I will trust your advice and try a nikita, but I must admit it the recipe sounds weird, beer mixed with ice cream and pineapple?

I think the azores is next on the list of spearing places I want to go. I read somewhere that santa maria has great spearfishing.

I would really like to catch a greater amberjack (seriola dumerili). Do you know if january is a good period for seriola?
