Deep Blue Freediving

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.

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.

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.

Explore this dive site, its conditions, marine life and nearby diving.

First dive through the shallow water at the sandbank. Dive slightly to the left (heading north-east) towards the large stones. After the stones, dive against the current. Here you will find a landscape with spectacular rocks. Dive upstream against the current for about 150 m and then drift back to the rocks.

Limited parking, you have to go through meadow/forest on a path down to the divesite, a lot of fine sand available at the site, safety of divers is necessary.
