About this dive site

This dive site is located in the northern part of Lake Garda, specifically at Porto San Nicolò near Riva del Garda. It is highly regarded as a perfect location for dive courses due to its convenient shore access and ample parking. Underwater navigation is made straightforward by the contoured terrain and the presence of an underwater map, significantly reducing the risk of divers getting lost.

Divers can expect to encounter pike, typically lurking around the deeper parts of the site at approximately 30 meters. During the safety stop, lake flounder are often observed, providing interesting sights closer to the surface. As a freshwater lake, the marine ecosystem consists of various freshwater fish species and aquatic flora typical of temperate lakes.

While no specific 'best time to visit' is provided, the site's suitability for courses suggests it's accessible and enjoyable for much of the diving season. It is particularly recommended for those undergoing training or looking for an easy, navigable dive. Freedivers will also find the varied depths up to 27 meters appealing for training and exploration.
