For Diving-Kai83
you don't necessarily need a boat, there are many good spots near the shore all around the 160 kilometers of lake shoreline. Boat traffic and related dangers are a real issue especially in Summer, but if you come in april-may (which is the best season) the situation is acceptable.
If you arrive from Munich driving down the Brenner Pass, a place to go could be Malcesine, in the middle of the east coast: very beatiful town, big choice of hotels and accomodation for any budget. A beach called Navene is the most appreciated spot in malcesine: you enter water from a beach and the bottom is interesting with spots of sand, kelp, rocks, then it goes down pretty suddenly. In April you may be lucky enough to find some big pikes in shallow water. And if the weather will warm up this months it will also be plenty of eels and tench. If you go early in the morning at Navene beach, on weekends you might meet some local spearos and ask some tips to them.
To be honest I am more familiar with south western portion, from Sirmione to Manerba: more choice of different bottoms, but for you it would be one more hour to drive.

Bring on a 5 mil wetsuit, a 75cm bandgun (a 90 might be too long most of the times) and a short with 5 pronger for eels, a mask with wide field of vision rather than low volume: water is never crystal clear, and the deeper you go, the darker it gets.

I'm taking some days of holiday there on the first week of April. Make me a whistle if you come over: we could eventually go hunting together if possile to arrange.
