Diving in Lombardy’s lakes

Freshwater diving enthusiasts will enjoy these seven ideas for discovering the underwater treasures in Lombardy’s lakes

Calm on the surface, the hidden depths of these lakes hide a host of underwater treasures.

With its four main lakes (Como, Iseo, Maggiore and Garda), plus many other smaller lakes, Lombardy is an absolute treasure trove of underwater panoramas for freshwater diving enthusiasts.

The lake bottoms, as well as offering interesting varieties of fish, are also home to military wreckages and archaeological and industrial relics, as well as boats and old ships with many stories to tell. If the wreckage give rise to underwater myths and legends, the natural rock formations of the ecosystems in the lakes offer caves, gorges, and hidden corners that will arouse the curiosity of underwater speleologists. For expert divers as well as for those who want to get to know the lakes from a different perspective, here is a brief guide to the most interesting dives in Lombardy.
