Diving in Peniche, Portugal

[Jerry_]

Hi,

last summer when I was in Portugal I was diving in the surroundings of Peniche, which is the most western point of continental Europe.

I did so with the diving center of ACUA Sub OESTE (Avenida do Porto de Pesca, 2520 Peniche, Portugal / Latitude : 39.356164 | Longitude : -9.376971) and had a very good experience both with the center, the owner, his ship and the dives.

Just wanted to share this with you, if ever you get to dive in Peniche or Berlengas (which is a small island west of Peniche)

Never dived with them, but I agree, it's a really nice area! Definitely one of the best.

You can have whatever you want!
There are small shallow easy dives (scenic and small wreck), there are dives with more current and surge (usually these have more fish), there are deep dives (both scenic in some nice seamounts with nice walls - from 30 to 80m maybe - and wrecks - 50, 60m bottom), there's a cave (wide tunnel at around 30m).
