Best for intermediate divers, 9-11m, shore entry.
Lago Miserin is a high-altitude freshwater lake in the Italian Alps offering a straightforward shore entry. The site features moderate depths ranging from 9 to 11 metres with visibility typically between 5 and 10 metres. Conditions are generally calm with no current, making it suitable for intermediate divers. The defining characteristic of this site is the very cold water temperature, which persists throughout the year. Divers must use appropriate thermal protection, such as a drysuit or a thick wetsuit with a hood and gloves, to mitigate the effects of the cold. Ensure all equipment is rated for low-temperature environments before planning a dive at this location.
