About As Doval
As Doval is a shallow Foz lagoon that opens at low tide between the islets and the beach, making it easy to read and friendly for first underwater sessions. The bottom is soft and varied, with algae, sand, and small life rather than a single deep feature. Spring and summer are the best fit, and the tide needs to be right before you plan the entry.
