Scuba Diving at Lake Garda


Diving at Lake Garda Underwater Madonna   


On Lake Garda, diving enthusiasts also get their money’s worth. Instead of diving for coral reefs and multicoloured fish, like in the Carribbean, you can search for sunken galleys and admire the illuminated Madonna statue near Brenzone.

You will easily find diving centres offering courses and day trips in various locations such as Riva, Salò, Torri del Benaco, Desenzano.

Underwater Madonna


In 2000, a diving club in Brenzone fixed a heavy, 3-metre-high Madonna statue to the bottom of the lake 18 metres below the surface. This underwater Madonna has become very popular with the divers, and even more so as it is illuminated. An 80-metre-long power cable connects the statue to the electricity grid of Brenzone.
