About
Peniche, a historic fishing town on Portugal's rugged coast, is the birthplace of the Haliotis diving project, which has since expanded to encompass six premier dive centers. This particular location stands out for its exceptional facilities, designed to elevate the diving experience for all participants. Upon arrival, divers are welcomed into well-appointed changing rooms, complete with hot showers, complimentary shower gel, and towels, ensuring comfort before and after their underwater excursions. Two dedicated classrooms provide an ideal environment for theoretical instruction, while a remarkable 13-meter by 6-meter swimming pool, featuring two distinct depth levels of 1.5 and 3 meters, is perfectly suited for mastering the fundamentals of scuba diving. The dive boats themselves are spacious and equipped with twin engines, prioritizing both comfort and safety during transit to dive sites. This operational excellence has firmly established Haliotis as a benchmark in Portuguese diving. Their comprehensive service portfolio includes thrilling introductory experiences like 'discover scuba' dives and snorkeling tours, alongside a full spectrum of PADI certification courses, ranging from beginner levels all the way up to instructor development. Daily diving excursions are a highlight, with a consistent focus on exploring the pristine waters of the Berlengas Nature Reserve, including the renowned Berlengas, Estelas, and Farilhões islands. These sites offer a rich tapestry of marine life, from abundant fish species and colorful invertebrates to dramatic underwater topography, making them a must-visit for any serious diver.
