Events for August 22 - September 29, 2022

Diving in Portugal means diving in the Atlantic Ocean and discovering a unique underwater environment. The wrecks (WW II U-Boat!), flora, and subaquatic species are utterly different from what you get at other destinations. The diving in this area is universally amazing while simultaneously diverse and unique. Couple all this with enjoying the culture, food, and hospitality of Portugal – amazing! Come join us for this stunning adventure above and below the waterline!

Jacques Cousteau and John Steinbeck saw the magic that the Sea of Cortez has to offer. Jacques Cousteau called the Sea of Cortez “the worlds aquarium.” John Steinbeck wrote "The Log of the Sea of Cortez" a journey through a remote and beautiful corner of the world, a diary filled with the daily excitements and triumphs of skillful and energetic men. It is also an invitation to see the world anew from a fresh vantage point and perhaps with a broader and more understanding spirit. Come explore with the Women Divers Hall of Fame the Sea of Cortez, home to an amazing array of wild life above and below the water line!
