About this dive site

This dive site is located centrally within the Barcarello natural reserve, extending outwards from the coastline towards a northern direction. The area features a rocky ridge that descends due to an underwater landslide, reaching depths of up to 30 meters. This creates a varied aquatic environment offering diverse experiences for divers. In shallower waters, encounters with fascinating marine life are common, including octopuses, sea stars, crabs, and moray eels. Deeper explorations reveal the potential for observing pelagic fish, adding an element of excitement for more experienced divers. The dive offers a relatively easy to medium difficulty level, suitable for those with basic scuba certification requirements.
