MOBULA ROACHES

The unique place Princess Alice is a meeting point of megafauna in the Atlantic Ocean. These deep sea mounts are home to resident pelagic fish such as barracuda and amberjack. Research has shown that the mobula rays team up with the big fish to hunt. In addition, the mobula allow themselves to be cleaned in the warm water of the surface.

BIG FISH

Large schools of fish live around the Azores island and meet at the deep sea mountains.

Bait Balls

The slopes of the inorganic ridge in the mid-Atlantic bring a lot of food to the surface. Snipefish, bastard mackerel and sardines form huge schools which are then herded together by big fish and dolphins to the baitballs - a spectacle. At the surface it is the yellow-billed shearwaters that take part in the big meal and show us the way to this big meal.

Blue sharks

Blue and mako sharks are the beneficiaries of this huge food mass. At special points like the deep-sea mountain Pe de Sousa or the Condor Bank, which has been protected for years, we meet these wanderers of the seas.

WHALE WATCHING

Of course, the very large inhabitants of the seas are also on the move here. The various species migrate in the ocean and pass by this gas station in the Atlantic Ocean near Pico. Others spend their whole life here, like the female sperm whale.

SAFETY

Pico Sport was the first company to deal with shark diving in the Azores. Since the beginning we have relied on the knowledge and expertise of Professor Erich Ritter. For many years Erich ran the Sharkschool on Pico and trained our teams. In the last years this work was continued by the shark researcher and free diver Lukas Müller. We follow these guidelines. That's why Pico Sport can point to accident-free statistics and has made many shark lovers happy.
