To get to Diama drive into Rosso and after the second Total Service Station on the left (It only sells diesel) Take the first or second right. The roads to Diana is a bit rough and sandy in some places, but a normal car can do it. In rainy season it looks to be hard. It was allot of fun, 100km of dirt fun fun fun...

You do not have to drive all the way to Rosso to get to Diama:
drive through Keur Macene / Keur Macane, and it will save you about 50 km of road and 60km of piste.
Coming from Nouakchott, at this point

follow the road to the right, it is really good and nice to drive, compared to the road to Rosso, which in December 2015 was under construction.
Note that there are two checkpoints on the way to the road on the dam, they will want to see the vehicle insurance for Senegal. You need insurance for Senegal, and it will be checked in Senegal, but you can buy it at the border in Rosso and Diama or cheaper in Nouakchott at NASR:

The only reason they ask for Senegal insurance while you are still in Mauretania is that they want to sell you the insurance for an inflated price (200 EUR compared to 20 EUR).
