Punta dell’Indiano

About this dive site

This dive site, Punta dell'Indiano, in Italy, is named for its unique rock formation above the water, resembling an American Indian's face. The dive itself is characterized by a wall starting at 25 meters, offering a fascinating underwater landscape. Navigation is straightforward, following the wall down and then back up, exploring its diverse life along the way. There's no significant history associated with the site beyond its unique namesake feature.

The dive site is known for its abundance of nudibranchs, a highlight for macro photography enthusiasts. Various fish species typical of the Mediterranean Sea inhabit the area, along with invertebrates and other smaller marine life which call the wall home. The wall itself offers a visually appealing backdrop for underwater photography.

The best time to visit Punta dell'Indiano is during the summer months (June-September) when the water is warmest and visibility is generally best. This site is very suitable for beginners due to the lack of currents, but all levels of divers can appreciate the diverse marine life and scenic wall. For freedivers, the relatively shallow depth and calm conditions make it an excellent location for exploring within safe limits.
