Best for advanced divers, 30-45m, shore entry, mild current.
Due Colonne is a shore-entry wall dive in Lake Garda that descends from 30 to 45 metres. This site is suited for advanced divers due to the significant depth, which requires careful management of nitrogen narcosis and decompression obligations. Divers encounter mild currents and visibility ranging between 5 and 10 metres. The environment features marked thermoclines and cold water at depth, necessitating thorough thermal protection and gas planning. Navigation discipline is essential throughout the dive. As facilities are unconfirmed, divers should arrive self-sufficient with all necessary equipment, including a surface marker buoy. The wall structure provides the primary focus for this deep freshwater experience.
