About This Dive Spot

This canyon-style river dive starts in shallow water by a sandbank, then heads slightly left toward large stones. From there, divers work upstream against the current through a rocky landscape before drifting back to the rocks and returning right to the sandbank. Diving downstream from the sandbank should be avoided due to hazardous white water and the outlet from a power station.
