Switzerland
Locarno
Locarno is a town in southern Switzerland near Lake Maggiore. It sits away from the sea, so there’s no local saltwater diving. Nearby freshwater dive options are limited; most diving activity would be training or day trips to regional lakes or managed centers in Switzerland or neighboring Italy. The city itself is more of a cultural and transport hub for trips into the nearby lakeside area, with scenic setting and easy rail connections to dive-friendly sites in Ticino and Lombardy.
