Explore Andorra
Though small and landlocked, Andorra offers a distinctive freshwater diving experience in the heart of the Pyrenees. High-altitude mountain lakes and reservoirs provide clear, cool waters framed by dramatic alpine scenery. Altitude diving procedures are essential, adding a technical dimension even to recreational dives.
Visibility can be excellent in calm conditions, while temperatures remain cold for much of the year, making dry suits common. Divers explore rocky slopes, submerged boulders, and occasional freshwater fish in peaceful, uncrowded settings. Primarily suited to recreational and altitude training dives, Andorra’s sites also appeal to technical divers seeking controlled mountain environments—an unexpected way to dive surrounded by peaks instead of coastlines.
