About this site
This dive site near Palermo features a stunning underwater arch covered in colorful sponges and gorgonians. Schools of barracuda and amberjack often patrol the area, while moray eels hide in crevices. The arch sits at 18 meters, with excellent visibility in the clear Tyrrhenian waters. Currents can be moderate, making it ideal for drift diving. The rocky formations create swim-throughs and small caves to explore. Depth ranges from 12 to 30 meters, suitable for intermediate divers.
