Hi Claudia,

another program that I used with success is Hollow (
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19014592).
It is really easy to use. You can get is here http://hollow.sourceforge.net/
It finds pockets in a defined area, fills them with water molecules and
generates a pdb with those waters. You can then import it into pymol and
represent it however you think is fitting.

Cheers,
Johannes
