This dive site, the Olympic Pool of the National University of Medellin, serves primarily as a controlled environment for aquatic and underwater training, formation, and competition. Located at the National University's El Volador headquarters, it offers easy access and ample parking. As a man-made facility, navigation is straightforward within the pool's marked lanes and structured environment, lacking natural underwater features or historical elements beyond its purpose as a modern training facility.
Being an Olympic pool, there is no natural marine life or plant species to observe here. The underwater environment is sterile and designed for human aquatic activities rather than ecological observation.
The best time to visit this site is during scheduled training sessions, competitions, or open hours for aquatic activities. It's an ideal location for beginner divers to practice fundamental skills, conduct confined water training, or for freedivers to work on breath-hold techniques and static/dynamic apnea in a safe, controlled setting. Tips include checking facility schedules and ensuring proper registration for use.
