About this site
This dive site off Filicudi Island features a rocky pinnacle rising from 12 meters to just below the surface. The volcanic formations create swim-throughs and overhangs teeming with marine life. Expect schools of barracuda, groupers, and moray eels among the boulders. The clear Tyrrhenian waters offer excellent visibility, while mild currents attract pelagics. The site works for all skill levels, with shallow areas for beginners and deeper sections for advanced divers. The surrounding Aeolian Islands provide a dramatic volcanic backdrop.
