<font color='#0000FF'>I'm looking into diving the Azores and just called a dive center at the Faial Island.It's a beautifull island and the diving is great.
Is anyone interested in making a dive trip at end december -early January to the Azores? Ideally it should be a minimum of 6 people. I spoke to a dive center and here are the pros &amp; cons in diving in December:

Pros:
Greater variety and quantity of Whales in December
Diving can be truelly amazing like diving the Princess Alices Bank
Remote location, mid Atlantic and beautifull islands

Cons:
Weather is more variable &amp; unrealible but normally as it is an island there is always a chance for diving on the sheltered side.

If not in December should we try to arrange a YD trip at another time? If interested please say so. I enclose the link below to wet your appetite

As an idication, a flight from Lisbon to Horta (Faial) cost approx €220. For you footies outthere you can always come to Euro 2004 and then to the Azores.
