Punta di Crabbia is a Lake Orta shore dive with a pier and freshwater wall.
Punta di Crabbia is a shore dive on Lake Orta built around a roadside entry, a small pier area, and a rocky freshwater wall that can be followed on either side of the point. The route is easy to orient once you pick a side, but the ferry lane and the pier make timing and entry discipline important. Clear water, a small platform, and a statue give the site a distinct lake-dive feel. It suits divers who want a freshwater wall dive with simple navigation and good visibility rather than a relaxed swim site.
