Nautilus (Como Lake)
Nautilus (Como Lake): shore-entry slope and wall.
Easy shore-entry Lake Como site with a sloping bottom, a training platform and a deeper wall for certified lake divers.
About Nautilus (Como Lake)
Nautilus is a shore-entry Lake Como site in Mandello del Lario, reached from the beach and car park near Motel Nautilus. The bottom slopes away past a local training platform, then develops into a more structured deeper section to the left, which makes it a practical freshwater dive for drills, lake navigation and a second phase that rewards more experienced divers. Expect an inland-lake profile, not reef scenery.
