About this dive site

This dive site is located in Tonnara's Gulf, a distance from the coast. The area features a large shoal rising to approximately 10 meters below the surface. This shoal offers numerous paths for divers and consistently provides abundant marine life. You’ll find eels, congers, lobsters, crabs, and shrimp inhabiting every crevice. Groupers and snappers are frequently observed near areas where underwater currents split within the shoal, occasionally spotting jackfish hunting nearby. A notable feature is Secca di Cala Rossa, marked by the remains of old tuna factory anchors. Deeper sections reveal small caves densely populated with shrimps. This dive provides a rich and engaging experience for divers exploring a diverse ecosystem.
