About this dive site

This dive site offers a unique experience for divers of all levels. The entry point is simple, with a convenient staircase leading down to the water’s edge. Parking is readily available for approximately four to five vehicles. Divers can choose between exploring a sunken truck from the Carnini dairy company dating back to the 1970s, which lies in a navigational position at around 13 meters depth and extends to 19 meters, or following the shoreline wall into deeper waters. The dive begins directly from the beach. Once a buoy is placed at 5 meters, you descend towards approximately 15 meters, turning right while maintaining the shoreline on your right until reaching the ‘autobotte’. The truck rests in a "navigational" position and can be explored from 13 to 19 meters deep, with a cabin visible. Looking past the truck, at around 15 meters, you’ll find several populations of fish – primarily persics – often accompanied by bottlenose dolphins. If you continue beyond the wreck, near 20 meters depth, the shoreline wall begins, leading towards the center of the lake. For exit, simply return along the wall to the right, maintaining it on your right, until reaching the buoy and then ascending back to the surface via the seabed. Visibility is excellent in this area.
