Dive-site story
Situated along the western shore of Lake Como's Lecco branch, this famous freshwater site features steep vertical limestone walls dropping into the abyss. Divers follow a series of underwater attractions, notably a submerged Moai statue inspired by Easter Island alongside historical car wrecks and underwater platforms. Given the cold lake conditions and rapid drop-offs, the site serves as a prominent training ground for deep and technical divers across Northern Italy.
