About this site
Off the Tremiti Islands, this dive site features a striking underwater rock formation teeming with marine life. The clear Adriatic waters reveal vibrant gorgonians, sponges, and schools of damselfish. Depths range from 10 to 30 meters, with gentle currents ideal for drift diving. The rocky slopes and crevices shelter octopus and moray eels. Visibility often exceeds 20 meters, making it perfect for photography. Suitable for all skill levels, with occasional sightings of barracuda and amberjack. A hidden gem in the Adriatic.
