U-1277 is a German World War II submarine resting upright on the seabed at a constant depth of 30 metres. Located over 3 kilometres from the shore of Porto, this wreck dive requires boat access. Divers experience visibility ranging from 5 to 20 metres and water temperatures between 14 and 16 degrees Celsius. Due to the depth and potential for strong currents, this site is suitable only for advanced divers. Maintaining neutral buoyancy is essential to avoid contact with the wreck structure. An SMB is strongly recommended for all divers to manage surface conditions and boat traffic in the area.

Plan your bottom time carefully before descending as 30 metres on a single tank gives you limited working time on the wreck. An SMB is strongly recommended given the boat traffic and variable surface conditions along this coast.
