Freediving session in the magic Flores island !
What a gift ❤️🍀 !

Amazing week with great weather, great temperature, feel like even warmer than central group 🤩 !!

Today work on Equalization on shallow dives, at just 50 meters from the shore. Easy access and beautiful spot.

Thank you !

Mama Eagle ray and its child flying together in the wellknown cave of Monte Guia, Faial island.

Those rays are shy and not that easy to film closely, so when you manage to get under them without making them fly away, you are more than happy :)

And their smile the gift 🙏❤️🍀

Sometimes, you plan something but something else happens.

And it is what makes life (and above all, the Azores) so amaaaazing 😃 !

Thanks Luis for letting us go into the water when those friendly fellows approached the boat and started to play with !

An amazing encounter with common dolphins, which are not known in the Azores for spending that much time with humans but today was the day 🥳

Thank you guys 🤗🙏❤️

📍 Freediving-Hiking Trip in Flores

🎯 3 rope coachings with Ondine, Freediving instructor and Equalization specialist
🐬 1 expedition to Corvo island (possible dolphin & whale sightings, caldera hike)
🥾 2 full hiking days
♨️ Free access to the Santa Cruz natural pools and to the gym
🏨 9 nights at the hotel, breakfast included
1790€ (flights not included) — max 6 freedivers who are comfortable in the ocean. We're already 5, just need you !

Have you already seen parrot fishes sleeping 🤭?

Usually I see one resting here and then, but today, they were plenty, ones on top of the others 😄

You can see a lot of female here on this shot (red and yellow ones) while the grey ones are male.

Feel like at the fish market but no, they are all alive and well 😃

Come and enjoy the beautiful underwater of the Azores with us.

Still some places left for classes and excursions end of august, september and still open in october for the last few good days at this amazing ocean ✨🌊

What I like most in Princess Alice, maybe as much as encountering the Mobulas, is to enjoy a great interaction with Amberjacks.

This time, we had a very special specimen inside the school. I saw it already several times, maybe you'll meet it when you get there 🍀🥰

Enjoy your next freediving trip to Princess Alice and more with us !
August full, still some places left in September.

Un mouillage inattendu, porté par le vent jusqu'à une zone que nous ne connaissions pas. Et sous la coque, un ballet.

Des dizaines de requins-hâ (*Galeorhinus galeus*) évoluant à moins de 15 mètres de profondeur, silhouettes blanches et grises glissant les unes contre les autres dans une lumière filtrée. Sept apnéistes, suspendus, à les admirer depuis la surface.

Ce sont des requins paisibles, peureux même, comme la majorité des requins, bien loin des clichés qu'on leur colle. Ce jour-là, c'est plutôt nous qui étions les intrus silencieux dans leur monde.

Le requin-hâ est aujourd'hui classé en danger critique d'extinction par l'UICN — sa population a chuté de plus de 80% en 80 ans, victime de la surpêche. Le croiser en si grand nombre, ici, dans cet état de calme partagé, c'est une rencontre rare, magique, une raison d'espérer.

Nous ne partagerons pas l'emplacement de cette rencontre — pour que ce ballet continue, loin des filets.

---

An unplanned anchorage, carried there by the wind. And beneath the hull — a ballet.

Dozens of tope sharks (*Galeorhinus galeus*) moving through the water at less than 15 meters deep, white & grey silhouettes gliding past one another in filtered light. Seven freedivers, suspended, contemplating them from the surface.

These are gentle sharks, even shy, like most shark species, far from the reputation they carry. That day, we were the quiet intruders in their world.

The tope shark is now listed as Critically Endangered by the IUCN — its population has dropped by over 80% in 80 years, driven by overfishing. Encountering so many, in such calm, was rare,magic, it gave us hope.

We won't be sharing the location of this encounter so this ballet can continue, far from the nets.

Hanging around in the rocks.

White trevallys, even more juvenile ones, like to play & turn around the freedivers.

A very nice trip, just a few hundred meters from the shore.

The Azores, Always expect a Surprise ;)!

Still some places left for the 22nd to 27th July 'Amazing Excursions Week' stay in Faial Island.

Dm me to book it now !
