About this site
This dive site off Capraia Island features dramatic underwater cliffs and caves teeming with marine life. Schools of barracuda and groupers patrol the clear waters, while colorful sponges and corals cover the rocky walls. The steep drop-offs create thrilling drift dives with strong currents, best suited for experienced divers. Visibility often exceeds 30 meters, revealing stunning rock formations and hidden swim-throughs. Octopuses and moray eels frequently hide in the crevices. The site offers both shallow exploration and deep dives along the submerged cliffs.
