Dive-site story
Resting on the muddy lake bottom in Lake Garda, Relitto Draga is the industrial wreck of a former gravel dredger. The metal superstructure, machinery, and winches remain largely intact, creating an artificial habitat for freshwater fish. Because ambient light drops rapidly in deeper lake waters, carrying a primary dive light is essential to inspect the machinery housing and hull framing.

Seasonality
Late spring through early autumn provides warmer surface temperatures and accessible lake logistics, though visibility is often clearer in colder months.
