"Best Possible Experience"

Florian Fischer Founder of "Behind the Mask" - website

Our team had a very productive week aboard Saildive operated by Paulo Gaspar and his crew. The catamaran is one of the most efficient production platforms we have experienced in our career as underwater filmmakers. The space on board was managed very flexible according to our logistical needs. Paulo operated the catamaran with a strong focus to provide the best possible experience and always went the extra mile to exceed our expectations. We can see that his operation offers one of the best options to experience the waters of the Azores, no matter if you are on a wildlife expedition or simply on holiday.
