About this site
This dive site off Filicudi Island features a striking underwater pinnacle rising from the seabed, surrounded by vibrant marine life. The rocky slopes are covered in colorful sponges and gorgonians, while schools of barracuda and amberjack often patrol the area. Clear waters offer excellent visibility, and the site's volcanic origins create fascinating rock formations. Depths range from 10 to 40 meters, suitable for various experience levels. Keep an eye out for octopus hiding in crevices and occasional passing tuna. Currents can be moderate, making it ideal for drift diving.
