What to do and see in Northern Portugal, Portugal: The Best Scuba & Snorkeling

July 20, 2021 Enriqueta Cusson

Brimming with both history and natural wonder, Northern Portugal is home to Porto, the city that gave the country its name, as well as the important ancient town of Braga. Also here is Peneda-Gerês, Portugal’s only national park, a gorgeous wilderness area of mountains, gorges, water features and wildlife. Many picturesque villages and manor houses dot the countryside. Two areas are UNESCO World Heritage Sites: the Alto Douro Wine Region, and the Paleolithic rock art in the Côa Valley.

Haliotis Porto

The temperature of the water varies between 12 and 15 degrees so it is advisable to use at least, wet suits of 7 mm. Visibility varies between 3 and 10 meters. The dives are made between 25 and 30 meters, so the use of enriched air is an added value. The conditions of the sea allow practicing dives practically throughout the year, with autumn and spring being the best months with calm waters and mild temperatures. Usually you can also see huge shoals of pout, huge congers and octopuses, lavagantes and white and pink anemones. The U1277 is undoubtedly an icon of diving in Portugal, exhibiting perhaps the most representative and seductive wreck of the Portuguese coast.
