Description dive spot:
The dive site directly under the Roman bridge ("Ponte dei salti", which meanse "bridge of the jumps"), also simply known "Roman Bridge", is located at the outskirts of Lavertezzo.
The recommended entry point is on the north side of the arched bridge, which requires crossing the bridge with all equipment. The divers may have many bathers as a spectators when the weather is good. It may be advisable to carry the equipment down and then get dressed directly at the water.
The dive begins against the current in the direction of the Roman bridge, which can be seen from underwater when diving lying on the back and looking up. Depending on the strength of the current the dive ends sooner or later after the bridge.
Conclusion: A very beautiful and bright dive site with beautiful rock formations, which in any case are worth the great effort to come down with the equipment to the water.
