Acqua Sottosopra

This dive site is among the most popular on Lake Maggiore. This is thanks to its vertical white rock that extends to a depth of about 100 meters, making it suitable for tech diving. Parking is available, along with a kiosk for lunch.

A very nice dive, with a lot of little wrecks connected by an underwater path. Winter is the best time for diving on this spot due to high visibility. Suitable for OWD as well as for advanced divers.

Just 10 minutes from the center of Lugano is the home of our club, called Pesce Sole Sub. Once you step inside, the water entry is just a few meters away, and the view of the Gulf of Lugano and Mount San Salvatore is breathtaking. The dive site is suitable for all levels.

Going down the stairs from the parking lot to the lake, you dive from the shore being careful where you put your feet because of slippery rocks. The shore slopes down immediately reaching 5 meters; usually the dive starts on the left to look for the remains on the 15 to 20 meters of the old landslide road and some walls.

The dive begins in a river pool located immediately next to the church of Sant’Anna and continues up the Cannobino River, with its smooth stone walls. This dive is suitable from July to September due to water conditions. A wide but long staircase leads to the water.

The dive is straightforward: to the north we have some sunken trees that serve as dens for numerous fish; be careful when crossing the bay due to presence in summer time of vessels.
