What to expect

We will go scuba diving one of the most iconic wrecks in mainland Portugal, the Uboat - U1277
U Boat - 1277 is a WWII shipwreck.
You can still see in the tower the pressure hull, consisting of welded metal plates approximately 22mm thick, the combat periscope with the shining stainless steel and the hatch without cover.
The spot is full of life because the submarine lyes like a reef attracting sea life and flora. The hull of the ship is covered with small white anemones (Sargatia elegans), pouts in the thousands, the congres that are the largest that can be found in these waters, curious octopuses, lobsters and the wonderful pink anemone community.
We will meet at the Marina, talk a little bit about this wreck and after we will go to the U1277 location for a fantastic wreck dive!
This experience is for advanced divers.
If you are open water diver/ level 1, we will take you diving somewhere else.
If you aren't a certified diver we can take you on a "try dive". You will be diving as a certified diver, but you will be permanently supervised by a diving instructor.
Talk with your host to completely understand what's different.
And remember: We worry, You dive!
