sinetwo 17 Posted January 8 Hey folks, I'm trying to put together a trip in September within Europe for great wide angle diving. We're looking for clear waters and good biodiversity (or even shoals/schools), ideally for people who don't dive dry. My list so far is: Murcia, Spain - apparently the area for diving is great, and there's plenty of shallow wide angle opportunities. As recommended by Javier Murcia. Madeira, Portugal - groupers, dolphins, whales and a wreck or two. Maybe Zeeland? I'd love something driveable from the UK but I doubt there's anything in north France / Belgium / Netherlands (apart from Zeeland)? Do you have any recommendations or thoughts? Open to all locations around in Europe to do some different diving! Thanks - sinetwo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TmxDiver 39 Posted January 8 Wrecks make great wide angle so maybe Malta or Vis, Croatia? I visited both in 2022. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pbalves 52 Posted January 8 You can go Santa Maria Island at Azores. or Porto Santo island at Madeira archipelago at both locations you will find water at 22-24 degrees at September. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
waterpixel 66 Posted January 8 (edited) For wrecks : Great wrecks in Narvik, South of France (Donator, Grec, Rubis) and Portofino (Haven). Malta was already mentioned above For marine life : Argentario from the echoes of @Davide DB, Sardinia has some fantastic places, and so does the marine park next to Portofino. I head good things about Tenerife too In the UK, Kinlochbervie seems spectacular, but haven't been so far, + the seal dives in Lundy and Farnes Edited January 8 by waterpixel 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dpoursanidis 5 Posted January 9 You can try Sporades Archipelagos with focus in Alonnisos area. There, gorgonian forests, seagrass meadows, and the only accesible ancient wreck at 24m to visit https://alonissos-seacolours.gr/peristera/ https://www.nationalgeographic.com/travel/article/diving-into-the-first-underwater-museum-in-greece and thats from my work > https://www.greece-is.com/coral-gardens-greece/ as i work at the area as scientist and i can say that you can see lots and have nice food as well. Access to Skiathos via airplane and then by boat. Happy for more information. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
