Scoglio del Raviolo

About this dive site

This dive site, known as Scoglio del Raviolo or Scoglio Ghisotti, is named for its unique rocky cliff above the water. The underwater topography is likely characterized by the rocky outcrop extending into the sea, potentially offering various crevices and swim-throughs. The site's history is linked to the photographer diver Lively, whose name is now incorporated into one of the site's names, suggesting a rich diving history. Navigating the site should be relatively straightforward due to the prominent rock formations.

Marine life at Scoglio del Raviolo is abundant and varied. Divers can expect to encounter lively colonies of red coral, alongside a variety of fish including groupers, barracuda, snappers, and croakers. Smaller creatures such as musdee (likely a type of fish) and cave shrimp are also present, adding to the site's biodiversity. Lobsters are also mentioned suggesting the presence of interesting invertebrates.

The best time to visit Scoglio del Raviolo is likely during the warmer months (spring, summer, and early autumn), when visibility is typically at its best and the sea is calmer. Freedivers will find the relatively mild currents and abundant marine life appealing, while divers can explore the depths and various rock formations. Caution should be taken in case of stronger currents, and divers should maintain awareness of their depth.
