Malgrate

Malgrate is a beginner-friendly freshwater dive on Lake Como's eastern shore near Lecco, offering easy access from the lakefront promenade. The gently sloping bottom features a mix of rocks, gravel, and submerged vegetation where lake fish congregate. Perch, bleak, and the occasional pike can be spotted among the underwater structures. The calm bay provides sheltered conditions ideal for training and first open-water experiences. With Como's distinctive mountain silhouette reflected in the lake surface, diving at Malgrate is a quintessentially Lombard experience combining underwater discovery with iconic Italian lake scenery.
