About this site
Scoglio del Medico is a rocky islet off the northwest coast of Ustica, a small volcanic island north of Palermo that sits within one of Italy's oldest marine protected areas. The site forms part of the reserve's zone of restricted access, where diving is regulated to protect the surrounding waters. Ustica's coastline is characterized by volcanic rock formations dropping into clear Tyrrhenian Sea waters.
