Shark School in Pico

The first shark school at Pico has startet. Dr. Erich Ritter arrived and today we had our first check out dive.

The wind is arriving so we will not be able for 2 days to go to the blue water....but from Wednesday on it looks perfect.
We are loking for Blue shark and Mako shark. Also Erich and Frank Wirth want to establish a shark protection programm.

The sharks are still caught in the Azorean water for finning and making fish fingers out of their meet.....

Lets create Pico as a shark destination and help the species to survive...
......Erich and Frank are working on it.

Bryde Whales in Pico

What a Baleen Whale season.
In the last weeks we have still seen Baleen whales around. It looks like that there is still enough food to keep some of the Giants in our waters.
Since 2 days we once again have a very special guest, a Bryde Whale.
Already 4 years ago we had a visitor from this species but now another one arrived. I hope this animal we stay with us during the summer......

a crazy Leatherback Turtle

Last week Jiri Reznizek from Czech Republic was working with spermwhales when a giant 500 kg Leatherback Turtle appeared. In 18 years working at Pico we never saw such a huge individual.....and it was so playfull. We could not believe what we saw when she played more than 30 minutes with Jiri.....








But Jiri took also pictures from Spotted dolphins ......
