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 you love novelty and freshwater diving is your thing!
This program is designed to take you diving in exotic waters, surrounded by a rural landscape, very different from the conventional seaside you associate with diving. Here there are no diving centres, instead there is a subterranean world of villages where people once lived, worked and played. Now, they are the site of some of the favourite dives for those who like to dive in freshwater.

Located in the Zezere River, southwest of Tomar in the Santarem District, the Castelo de Bode Dam is one of the tallest structures and has one of the largest reservoirs in Portugal. The construction started in 1945 and finished in 1951. Since then, it has been used for electric power production, water supply, especially for Lisbon city, flood protection, and recreational activities including: windsurfing, rowing, sailing, jet skiing, and of course, diving. The main area is Albufeira de Castelo de Bode and its easy access by road makes it the perfect place for all recreational activities. For our diving experience, we have some exciting spots here, including a village, a bridge, and a mill wheel, all underwater. This Dam has breathtaking llandscapes, so don't forget your camera as you will definitely want to take some fantastic pics to share with your friends and family. Don't forget that you are in Portugal, so expect to find some excellent restaurants to chill and relax in after the dive.
