Special Features

Thanks to the crystal-clear waters off Ustica, colorful corals and undisturbed fish can be seen from the boat.

 

At just 12 m depth, the dive leads into a beautiful canyon.

Afterwards, the densely vegetated peninsula continues until one can dive through an impressive arch at 30 m, whose inner side is inhabited by snails of various sizes and colors.

 

From 25 to 40 m, another canyon stretches out, where gigantic grouper (Epinephelidae) like to retreat.


Secca d’Africa resembles hardly any other dive site in the Mediterranean and has a special charm with the many hideaways where unexpected marine creatures can be found.
