Visibility can drop significantly depending on conditions, so a dive torch is worth bringing even during daylight dives to help read the reef and spot eels tucked into crevices. A cafe on site means you can warm up with a hot drink after the dive, which is welcome given the cooler water temperatures.
The main dive site is located along the lakefront in via della Sposetta, near the Hotel Alfredo.
