This dive site, known as Secca del Magazzino or Shoal of the Warehouse, is an impressive underwater landscape located in the Ligurian Sea. The shoal begins at a depth of 24 meters and descends to a maximum of 28 meters. Divers will explore an environment dominated by large, scattered boulders that form numerous dens and inlets, creating an intricate topography. Navigation involves exploring these fascinating rock formations and their hidden nooks.
The marine life at Secca del Magazzino is diverse and vibrant. The walls of the boulders are beautifully covered with sea daisies, adding bursts of color to the scenery. Inhabitants commonly encountered include moray eels, octopuses, and conger eels, which often shelter within the various dens. Groupers can also be spotted. Smaller life, such as delicate spirographs and anemones of different shapes and colors, thrives on the small stretches of sand found between the boulders.
The best time to visit this dive site is typically during the warmer months, when sea conditions are generally calmer and marine activity is at its peak. Secca del Magazzino is primarily suited for advanced divers due to its depth, offering a rewarding experience for those capable of exploring deeper environments. Photographers, especially those interested in macro subjects, will find an abundance of small creatures and intricate details to capture.
