Good things come to those who wait!

Yesterday we did some spearing again.

At the first spot we arrived, the current was the hardest I ever had to deal with. Full leg and arm work and you were nearly able to stay at one point. No chance to relax and prepare for diving. Also we did not saw any fish at all. Second spot the current was strong but manageable for diving and staying  around one place, but also no fish. Visibility was also bad, the water very murky.

After trying two other spots and spending about 2,5hours in the water, we went back to the first spot were we started in the morning. Current was now OK, Third dive, shot my first White trevally. Changed place again and couldn't load my gun as fast as i wanted. Surrounded by hundreds of White travally all size.

After they disappeared, the Yellowmouth Barracuda arrived. I saw something rushing between them (maybe atlantic bonito, shape could match) and tryed to shot one of this. I had only one good chance to shoot and I missed :(. Meanwhile your guide told me, that my friend Greg couldn't shot any Barracuda at all.

Challenge accepted!

First and second shot ;) I think Greg was a bit frustrated about yelling him that I shot two during my first attempts.
Maybe he will need some better glasses for his mask ;)

Later I saw one Rainbow Runner, didn't know that they were common in the Azores, but Pedro told me, that he also saw them in the past.

All in all we spend over 340 minutes! in the water (yes, 3mm wet suit will work) and at the end I had over 80 dives, mostly between 12 - 22 meter. Could do this every second! day ;)

Thanks again for guiding Pedro
