About Ponte JK
Ponte JK is a shore-access freshwater dive in central Brasília with a simple route under the bridge and enough structure to keep navigation straightforward. The site is best known for its low-visibility daytime feel and for night dives, when carp and bass are easier to spot and the bridge-side profile reads more clearly. It suits divers who are comfortable with an urban lake dive and want a practical freshwater change of pace.
