About this site
Ustica sits off the northern coast of Sicily in the Tyrrhenian Sea, and the island's waters were designated Italy's first marine protected area. Piramidi lies along this volcanic coastline, where the underwater terrain is shaped by the same lava formations that built the island above the surface. The site reaches a maximum depth of around 18 metres and is rated a beginner dive. Dive operators on Ustica typically run trips from the small harbor near the town itself.
