Skipper Bar
The dive site is characterized by black volcanic sand and silt, which may affect visibility. However, the vibrant green vegetation from 3 to 10 meters adds to the beauty of the underwater environment. Divers can expect to encounter various fish species such as pike, carp, and perch.
While the visibility can vary, typically reaching up to 5 meters in normal conditions, it is important to note that visibility may decrease in bad conditions to less than half a meter. Maintaining excellent buoyancy is crucial to avoid raising suspension and compromising visibility. At a depth of 6 meters, there is a platform perfect for dive exercises.
For technical divers, there is an exciting opportunity to explore the underwater attractions beyond 30 meters. At depths ranging from 30 to 45 meters, divers can admire a statue of Venus and the models of the Bismarck and the Britannic. These attractions are positioned along a designated route, offering a unique diving experience.
Parking is available but comes at a fee. Divechamp.com offers a range of diving experiences, catering to all levels, at this stunning dive site in Lake Bracciano, Italy.
