Thank you in advance.

okay I'll tell you, but it would help me if you told me where exaclty on lake Como you're planning to settle. It would be cruel of me to suggest you to drive two hours to reach the shop, you know.
For now, lake Como is not exaclty my neck of the woods.
The best specialized shops are in the Milan area.
The very good specialized store called Pepposub is near the highway from Como to Milan
Dove Siamo | Peppo Sub
The very good specialized store Maremania is at Novate Milanese, north of Milan
MAREMANIA TUTTO PER LA SUBACQUEA E LA PESCA IN APNEA Come raggiungerci
a good shop, Sportissimo is in the center of Milan:
Sportissimo Milano - negozio di subacquea a Milano - e-commerce - online

Just consider that if you drive down to Milan it's a bit of a mess with traffic and roads, being that a huge, messy and ugly urban metropolitan area.
I don't know of specalized shops right on the lake. But I remember that in Mandello del Lario, which is a beautiful towns on lake Como, there's a big sports gear outlet store, named "Longoni Sport", with a decent section dedicated to diving gear. So to resume, before you venture driving down to Milan, check Longoni Sport at Mandello del Lario and see if you find there what you're looking for.
Have a nice trip and please feel free to ask for more info
