Ripalti

About this dive site

This dive site, Ripalti, in Italy, is characterized by its strong currents and depth, making it suitable for experienced divers only. The dive starts at a relatively shallow 12 meters, gradually descending into deeper waters with several solitary boulders creating a varied underwater topography. Navigating this site requires confidence and experience in handling strong currents and deeper depths.

The marine life at Ripalti is diverse and abundant. Divers can encounter moray eels, various schooling fish, barracudas, breams, and octopuses at shallower depths. Deeper dives may reveal the vibrant colours of red gorgonians, adding to the overall richness of the underwater landscape.

The best time to visit Ripalti is likely during the warmer months (spring and summer), when visibility is usually better and marine life is more active. However, currents can still be strong regardless of the season. Divers and freedivers should be thoroughly experienced and equipped with appropriate gear and skills to navigate the challenging conditions. It's crucial to have a dive buddy and inform someone of your dive plan.
