About this site
Punta Vallespina off Salina Island offers dramatic volcanic formations with steep drop-offs and vibrant marine life. The clear Tyrrhenian Sea reveals schools of barracuda, groupers, and occasional eagle rays. Lava arches and swim-throughs create exciting exploration. Depths range from 10 to 40 meters, suitable for various skill levels. Strong currents sometimes sweep the site, attracting pelagics. The black sand bottom contrasts with colorful sponges and anemones. Best dived in calm conditions for optimal visibility.
