This dive site is famous for its unique underwater nativity crib, located in a grotto on the northern shore promenade of Torri del Benaco. The crib features approximately 30 figures and is situated at a depth of 24 meters. Divers can navigate from the shore directly to the grotto, making it a relatively straightforward dive once the location is identified.
Divers can expect to encounter a variety of classic freshwater fish species typical of Lake Garda, including agone, bleak, eel, barbel, burbot, carp, garda trout, chub, lavaret, pike, perch, trout perch, and tench.
The best time to visit for optimal visibility and warmer water temperatures is typically during the late spring to early autumn months. This site is a highlight for divers looking for a unique attraction beyond marine life, offering a memorable cultural underwater experience. Freedivers with experience in depth can also enjoy exploring the grotto and crib.
