Dive-site story
Located off the eastern shore of northern Lake Garda near Navene, this dive leads down a steep sublacustrine slope to the sunken cabin cruiser known as the Viking. Divers descend past rocky drop-offs and silty shelves before reaching the upright hull resting in deeper, dark water. Crisp freshwater conditions and significant depth make good buoyancy control essential to avoid silting up the wreck.
