Devil Rays at the Formigas Islets AZORES!
Ойын-сауық
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!

Devil rays are shaped just like jet . Incredible beauty of underwater world !
Amazing
At Orlando theme park SeaWorld, they have laser devil rays in the manta coral reef aquarium, and they got two great hammerhead sharks at the shark encounter aquarium
Beautiful place … and as always spectacular cinematography!!
Cant get enough of this
I am so jealous. This place looks absolutely gorgeous! I’ll have to put it on my bucket list of places to visit.
:O oooooooohh cool
Awesome video again!!! What an awesome place. Have a bunch of friends on Cape Cod that are Azores Portuguese. They ended up in Provincetown. All fisherman !!

Massachusetts has a large Portuguese population, especially on the south shore. Which is AWESOME because there are flights direct to the Azores out of Boston and it's only about 4 hours. Who KNEW???

Just wondering if you can do any rock sound searching underwater? I know the blue world is about creatures and environment. I found a secret window of consent💙 I am thinking of a musical instrument made, ... for a underwater ambience credit. To be continued.....stay tuned🐡
Happy New Year! Also, a very illuminating performance!
A little bit longer shots & explanation of 'Black Corals' would have been better. Anyway Thanks BlueWorld team for taking us back to Blue World. I just love these videos.
I was waiting for you to get around to the Azores again! I wish I got the chance to dive more when I was stationed there.

Like that one time when I saw a massive eagle ray at Aramco’s reef off the coast of Al-Lith, Saudi Arabia. It was big!! Btw how r u Jonathan, yeah it’s been a while since I watched a vid. Let’s just say University has caught up to me. Yeah I study at UO Eugene, Oregon. Marin Bio major! It’s a blast, though sadly it’ll be for junior year at the OIMB, right now it’s just boring Core-ed classes.

Interesting to see its not just the gulf of Thailand that has maniac trigger fish. Ironically the giant ones on the Andaman Sea are placid.

The cave diving videos are really cool, but I'd much rather see videos where you show off exotic marine life from around the world. Now that you have rebreathers, I'd like to see marine life in deeper depths.

10:46 this one is brown compared to the black and White Manta Ray
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.

During the summer can go between 21ºc - 24ºc, but still I always used 7mm semi dry, especially doing 2 dives per day.
