About this dive site

This dive site offers a unique inland diving experience, primarily in freshwater lakes and artificial formations nestled within mountainous regions. These environments present special challenges due to the altitude, requiring specific diving procedures. Diving here provides access to breathtaking landscapes away from the ocean. The water is typically cold, clear, and clean, supporting interesting aquatic life. Both natural lake formations and man-made swamps between mountains warrant careful planning and execution. It’s a gateway for those seeking adventure beyond coastal waters. If you enjoy activities at high altitudes, bringing your diving equipment along expands your recreational opportunities.
