One of the first things I noticed during my first summer in the Azores, is how amazingly clear the water gets as it starts to warm up. To add to the water clarity, on a few lucky days of the year there is little or no wind, forming a perfectly flat ocean without ripples. These are the best conditions for seeing whales and dolphins and we can often see beautiful reflections and the entire animals through the crystal clear water.
