CW Azores

Faial-based operator in the mid-Atlantic running coastal dives, blue-water shark encounters with blue and mako sharks, and summer expeditions to Princess Alice Bank — a seamount nearly 50 nautical miles out where mobula rays school around the pinnacle. Offshore trips are long, weather-gated and for comfortable open-ocean divers.

Prix: Coastal dives price mid-band for Europe; the offshore bank and shark trips are premium, full-day undertakings. Verify seasonal windows — Princess Alice runs only in settled summer weather.
