Scoglio Montenassari

Scoglio Montenassari is a small rocky outcrop off Filicudi Island in the Aeolian archipelago, part of the Province of Messina off the northern coast of Sicily. Filicudi's coastline is known for volcanic rock formations dropping into the Tyrrhenian Sea, and dive sites around the island are typically reached by boat from the small harbor at Filicudi Porto. Divers here have reported brown and Mediterranean morays, common octopus, loggerhead turtles, and marbled crabs among the rocks, along with snakelocks anemones, lurid cowries, and the odd Madeira scorpionfish tucked into crevices. Mauve stinger jellyfish have also been spotted drifting past the site at times.
