About Tegnue "Mestre"
Tegnue "Mestre" is a managed Adriatic outcrop dive in the main Chioggia Tegnue complex, with a long north-south ridge, an offset buoy, and a route that stays tied to the rock line.

Local Intel For Tegnue "Mestre"
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba
This is a good scuba site for disciplined teams because the long ridge and offset buoy reward a planned route rather than freestyle wandering.
Freedive
Not a freedive-first site; the structure is built around a managed boat dive at depth.
Snorkel
Not a snorkel-first site; the interesting terrain is underwater at dive depth.
