About this site
Underwater pinnacles rise dramatically from the seabed near Ustica Island, surrounded by clear Mediterranean waters. Schools of barracuda and groupers patrol the rocky formations while colorful sponges and corals cover the walls. Strong currents attract pelagic species, making this an exciting drift dive. The site offers excellent visibility and depths ranging from 15 to 40 meters, suitable for experienced divers. The volcanic origins create fascinating swim-throughs and overhangs to explore.
