This dive site, Pifferaio, is located within the full protection zone of the Bergeggi MPA in Italy. Divers navigate along a wall on their left, exploring its numerous small burrows and a charming inlet known for occasional unexpected finds. The site is relatively shallow, making it accessible and enjoyable for various skill levels.
The site teems with marine life, including ever-present shoals of anthias, bream, groupers, moray eels, and octopus. Divers may also experience sporadic encounters with barracuda, snappers, and corvina, adding excitement to the dive.
The best time to visit this dive site, like much of the Mediterranean, is typically from late spring through early autumn when water temperatures are warmer and conditions are generally calm. Its shallow profile and abundant life make it highly suitable for both scuba divers and freedivers seeking an engaging underwater experience within a protected marine environment.
