About this site
A stunning dive site off Favignana Island, known for its clear Mediterranean waters and dramatic underwater cliffs. Schools of barracuda and groupers patrol the rocky drop-offs, while colorful sponges and corals cover the walls. The site offers excellent visibility, often exceeding 30 meters, with mild currents ideal for drift diving. The seabed slopes gently before plunging into deeper blue, creating a mix for all skill levels. Octopus and moray eels hide in crevices, adding excitement to every dive. Warm waters from late spring to early autumn make it a perfect seasonal spot.
