About Porto

A dive in fresh water: a lake, quarry or spring. 1 dive centre or shop within 10 km, the nearest 3.2 km away. The town to stay in is Brissago. Within 5 km we also list 2 dive sites and 1 mountain bike area.

  • Water Fresh water: a lake, river or quarry, not the sea. It is scored on its wind and rain only.
  • What it is No source states what kind of site it is.
  • How deep No source states how deep it goes.
  • Who it suits Suits Advanced divers and up: no source states its depth or level, so we never offer it to a new diver.
  • Dive centres 1 dive centre or shop within 10 km, the nearest 3.2 km away.

The score is the conditions only: the journey, the price and the partners never change it (how we score, how we earn).
