About this site
A submerged pinnacle off San Pietro Island, this site features dramatic rock formations covered in vibrant gorgonians and sponges. Schools of barracuda and dentex patrol the blue, while moray eels hide in crevices. The current can be strong, making it ideal for drift diving. Depths range from 15 to 40 meters, with excellent visibility often exceeding 30 meters. The seabed is scattered with ancient anchors, adding a historical touch. Best suited for experienced divers due to depth and currents.
