Casa del Sindaco

About this dive site

This dive site, Casa del Sindaco (Mayor's House), is characterized by a unique two-tiered underwater landscape. The upper 15 meters are relatively barren, providing a transition to the richer marine life below. Navigation is straightforward, descending gradually to the more populated deeper sections. There's no known specific history or story associated with the site's naming beyond its literal translation suggesting a structure or feature resembling a house.

The deeper sections are home to large groupers, numerous moray eels, and a striking colony of black coral located around 40 meters. While the description mentions a landslide, it doesn't specify its extent or impact on navigation. Smaller fish and invertebrates are also likely present, adding to the biodiversity of this dive site.

The best time to visit Casa del Sindaco would likely coincide with the warmer months in Italy, generally from June to September, when visibility is often at its best and marine life is more active. Divers and freedivers should always check current conditions and water temperature before entering the water and be prepared for possible mild currents. Appropriate safety measures and diving experience are recommended due to the depth of the site.
