    StandoutRich in charismatic marine life

    Lago Gad offers a unique freshwater diving experience in the Ligurian Alps, a change of pace from the typical Mediterranean dives. We found the visibility often good, letting you explore the submerged trees and rock formations. It’s a quiet spot, ideal for divers looking for something a bit different or those honing their buoyancy in a calm environment.
