Condor Bank
Deriva mar adentro con tiburones azules en Azores
Operador local requerido
A licensed shark-diving operator is required for the offshore run and shark setup.
Acerca de Condor Bank
Condor Bank es un banco de tiburón azul remoto en las Azores, y la inmersión se realiza como una deriva superficial sobre mar abierto en lugar de una caída profunda. Los tiburones azules son el principal atractivo, mientras que el tiburón mako y avistamientos ocasionales de tiburón martillo son bonificaciones poco frecuentes cuando el mar y los animales coinciden. Es una salida especializada de tiburones mar adentro, no una jornada típica de arrecife.
