About this dive site

This dive site, located near the Secca delle Vedove and using the same mooring point, presents a unique underwater feature. Divers can begin their descent at approximately 5 meters, heading north towards the open sea. The area culminates in two substantial, conical formations resembling giant panettone – one reaching a depth of 48 meters and the second adjacent, sinking to 52 meters. These structures are characterized by walls that may host lobsters and other marine life. Due to potential challenges associated with these depths and the surrounding environment, it’s important to note that this site may require advanced diving experience or training beyond basic certification levels. This could include proficiency in deep diving, wreck exploration, cave diving, or technical diving techniques. Always prioritize safety by adhering to your individual skill set and experience.
