WHY PORTUGAL?

In 2019 and for the third consecutive year, Portugal won the “World ́s Leading Destination” award by WTA.

Portugal has a mild climate, 300 sunshine days per year, a vast coastline to the Atlantic Ocean (with over 1200 km extension), hundreds of beautiful beaches, and a two million square kilometers Exclusive Economic Zone (maritime domain).

These attributes are reasons why diving is fantastic, and yet, there is so much to discover.

Portugal offers perfect diving conditions; it is possible to dive all year round, excellent infrastructure for recreational and technical diving, from caves to wrecks and deep diving.
This Congress intends to be one more contribution to the recognition of Portugal as an international diving destination.
DIVING talks 2021 is also a pretext to put together the love for diving and a short trip with your crew, at the event location. ###Tróia.
The Troia peninsula is a gigantic sand dune that has been forming over thousands of years, with the Atlantic Ocean to the west and the Sado estuary to the east. This unique location gives it an enormous wealth from the environmental point of view; a privileged setting, with beach, dune, marsh, estuary, and pine forest environments.
