DIVING TALKS 2021, originally was the idea of a group of divers that travel and attend dive conferences around the world, wanting to bring Portugal a quality event with higher experience. – We live in a connected world, anything you do gets exponentially amplified by the power of social networks; – Social networks are tools to share with the community the pleasure you have diving; It is strange, though, that the first recommendation you get on any conference is not to film, photograph and subsequently share, what you are about to see. Diving Talks is talking about diving, talking is an expression of communication, communicating is sharing; so let’s talk about diving, and share the talks!
