Dive-site story
Resting off the eastern shores of Lake Garda near Malcesine, the Relitto Viking is a sunken recreational cabin cruiser settled along the lake's sloping bed. Silt coats much of the vessel's hull, demanding careful buoyancy control to prevent sudden loss of visibility. Below the seasonal thermocline, water conditions remain consistently cold year-round.
