Secca della Rana is a submerged pinnacle off the coast near Naples, in the Bay of Naples along Italy's Tyrrhenian coastline, an area shaped by the volcanic geology of the wider Campi Flegrei and Vesuvius region. The site reaches a maximum depth of around 25 metres and is rated a beginner dive, making the shoal accessible to divers early in their experience. Divers have also reported marbled crabs, Saint Piran's hermit crabs, and Mediterranean rainbow wrasse moving along the rock, alongside mauve stinger jellyfish drifting past, as well as barracuda, tuna, snapper, grouper, and damselfish over the structure. The pinnacle itself carries patches of Mediterranean red coral, star coral, and white gorgonian, giving the structure some color beyond the fish life.
