About this dive site

This dive site is located in the famously clear Verzasca River, renowned for its spectacular underwater landscape. Divers navigate through massive, polished granite boulders and canyons sculpted by the powerful current. The experience is primarily about the unique geology and gin-clear water, not marine life.
