Easy dive with calm conditions. Only 3 minute walk to ladder into crystal clear and slightly warmer atlantic water. Very shallow in the initial area (about 15 feet) opens up to a wall and some canyons on the right side. Surprisingly not a lot of fish but very easy relaxing dive. There were some dog fish, abalone, bonito tuna in the distance, lots of nudibranchs along the sandy/gravelly sea floor. Good introductory dive on for the island of Terceira.
