  • In the second episode of the Blue World Azores Family Diving Trip, we explore the Formigas Islets as well as the Dollabarat seamount nearby. These remote spots are more than six hours by boat from the island of Sao Miguel. We reached these places aboard the Water & Wind Liveaboard, which is one of the only liveaboard dive boats in the Azores! Thanks to Portugal Dive for arranging this amazing trip!

    Triggerfishes attack when protecting their offspring. At least here on the Red Sea. One triggerfish hit me with its teeth. He accelerated from 3 - 4 meters. Feels as if someone has hit you with a fist. It was near his nest inside a coral reef. Once a triggerfish bit my partner on the arm, on the palm. There are teeth marks on the hand. We have rumors that triggerfish can break the mask.
