Dive in a Dam - Exclusive Dives

When your passion for diving takes you to different underwater worlds... You like freshwater environments, new landscapes, different species you cannot find in the ocean or just because it´s your thing!

This program is dedicated to taking you diving in exotic waters, surrounded by a different and rural landscape, away from the typical seaside you associate with diving. Here there are no diving centres. Before, there were villages here, people working the fields, and children running free and playing on the land. Now, this is the scenario of some of the most appreciated dives for those who like to dive in freshwater.

The construction started in 1945 and finished in 1951; it has been used for electric power production, water supply, especially for  Lisbon city, flood protection, and recreational activities.
