Bracciano
The training site is located towards the end of Lungo Lago Argenti di Bracciano (RM) in Italy. It offers ideal diving conditions for beginners, especially for their first open water experience. The entry point is from the shore, and the depth ranges from 0 meters to a maximum of 16 meters. However, it's important to note that reaching the deeper parts requires a significant amount of swimming due to the distance from the shore.
The seabed in this area is characterized by black volcanic sand and silt, which can affect visibility. Despite this, the site is teeming with rich green vegetation from 3 to 10 meters below the surface. Divers can expect to encounter various aquatic species such as pike, carp, and perch.
Lake Bracciano, specifically the area of Lungo Lago Argenti di Bracciano, is highly recommended for beginner divers. The gentle slope of the seabed allows for a gradual descent, providing a comfortable and safe environment for training. The dense vegetation helps to control suspension, resulting in reasonable visibility for beginners. Under normal conditions, visibility can reach up to 5-10 meters, and even in poorer conditions, it rarely falls below 5 meters.
One notable feature of this dive site is a beautiful statue of Christ, located at a depth of 14 meters. This adds a unique element to the underwater experience.
For convenience, there is easy parking available nearby, both paid and free options. The close location is Lungolago Giuseppe Argenti, Bracciano, Roma Capitale, Lazio, Italy (00062).
