Mantua

Mantua is an inland administrative region in Lombardy, Italy, not on the sea. The surrounding Lombardy countryside offers limited diving, with freshwater bodies nearby such as rivers and lakes suited for beginner training and shallow, local exploration. Within Lombardy, ports and centers along larger lakes provide basic diving options, but the Mantua area itself does not host saltwater diving sites. The nearby Ligurian Sea to the south is a separate regional context for divers seeking coastal experiences in Italy.
