About this dive site

This dive site, known as the "Madonnina", is a renowned destination in Lampedusa. It’s a classic dive location that many divers seek to experience at least once. The site consists of an outcropping shoal characterized by a large natural arch that penetrates through it. A life-size statue depicting the Madonna and Child stands before this impressive formation. This creates a striking visual element within the underwater environment. Due to its unique geological features, visibility can vary depending on conditions.
