Best for intermediate divers, 14m, boat entry, moderate current.
Silver Valley is a wreck site located off the coast of Porto, Portugal, resting at a consistent depth of 14 metres. This site is accessible by boat only and is suited for intermediate divers due to the presence of moderate to strong currents. Divers should maintain good buoyancy control and situational awareness throughout the dive. Given the water temperatures, which range from 14 to 17 degrees Celsius, adequate thermal protection such as a 7mm wetsuit is essential. Divers are advised to time their descent around slack water and use a surface marker buoy to remain visible to boat traffic.
