Water Type: Salt
Entry Type: Boat
Dive # 272 - Besides Princess Alice was my favorite dive with a lot more fish then anywhere else probably because exposed to the currents on edge of Mont da Guia to the middle channel between Faial and Pico. Toward the end we hit some very strong current almost pulling some into the channel and us into the reserve inside the caldeirinhas. Can easily get very deep if not paying attention but excellent spot with lots of variety of fish big and small and photo opps.
