Taglio delle Orte

About this dive site

This dive site, Taglio delle Orte, offers a relatively shallow wall dive perfect for beginners. The underwater topography consists of a wall that starts at 6 meters and extends down to a maximum depth of 22 meters in its first section and even deeper in other areas although this is not relevant for less experienced divers.. Navigation is straightforward, primarily following the wall. There isn't a specific known history or story associated with this site, its appeal lies in its natural beauty and abundant marine life.

The site boasts a rich biodiversity. Divers can expect to encounter lobsters, scorpionfish, bream, and moray eels of various sizes. The wall itself is covered in a variety of sponges and corals, typical of the Mediterranean Sea. Various other fish species would also be expected to be seen.

The best time to visit Taglio delle Orte is during the warmer months, from May to October, when water temperatures are most pleasant and visibility is typically at its best. Freedivers will find the shallower sections ideal for exploring the wall and observing the diverse marine life. Divers should be aware of their depth limits and the overall state of the site and conditions. The site is mostly suitable for beginners but there are deeper parts and divers need to be aware of the maximum depth they are able to reach.
