About this dive site

This dive site offers a unique freshwater experience in the famously clear, emerald waters of the Verzasca River. Divers navigate through stunning, smoothly polished granite rock formations and canyons sculpted by the water over millennia. The main attraction is the surreal underwater landscape and exceptional visibility, not the aquatic life.
