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.
