About this site
Secca Banco della Scala lies off Castrignano del Capo, near the southern tip of the Salento peninsula in the Lecce province of Puglia, where the Adriatic and Ionian seas meet. This stretch of coastline is known for its rocky headlands and underwater shoals reachable by boat from small local harbors. Divers here have reported comber, painted comber, east Atlantic peacock wrasse, ornate wrasse, Madeira scorpionfish, Mediterranean damselfish, tompot blenny, and violescent sea-whip along the shoal.
