About this site
Villaggio dei Pescatori sits along the coastline of Ustica, a small volcanic island off the northern coast of Sicily in the Tyrrhenian Sea. The island's waters were designated Italy's first marine protected area, and its shoreline is dotted with rocky coves and small fishing settlements like this one that give access to the surrounding sea. The site itself is shallow, reaching a maximum depth of around 4 metres, and is rated a beginner dive, making it an easy, gentle entry point into the waters around the island.
