About this dive site
This dive site, located at Capo Fonza, features two distinct areas: an inner and outer section. The highlight of this zone is undoubtedly the red coral, which can be observed already at a depth of -25 meters, displaying its delicate beauty amongst the rock crevices. Regularly encountered marine life includes ‘barrass’ fish (likely meaning groupers), barracuda, scorpionfish, and seabream. It's an area where you might encounter some interesting underwater scenery.
