About this dive site

This dive site is located on the eastern side of an island, specifically near a significant sea cliff named Punta Falconiera. The area offers diving at approximately 20 meters in depth. A small cave exists within this zone and is teeming with life, including shrimp, white hakes, and slipper lobsters. Venturing slightly outside the cave reveals red gorgonias, moray eels, additional lobster populations, groupers, and various species of rock fish. This site presents a diverse underwater ecosystem.
