Dive-site story
Situated at the northern tip of Lake Garda beneath the cliffs of Monte Brione, this freshwater site is centered around the underwater statue of Christ the Silent. Divers enter from the shore near the harbor of San Nicolò, following a submerged platform that gives way to sloping rocky terrain and silt beds. The submerged sculpture stands anchored against a backdrop of steep alpine lake topography.
