Sport diving equipment, dive light, camera
From the beautiful coral reef in shallow water, through a densely vegetated steep wall down to 50m depth and the remains of a wreck, everything is included here.
In the steep wall, huge lobsters hide in small caves, Conger conger and Muraena helena slither through the dense, colorful growth.
Around the wreck that sank in 2005, schools of barracudas Sphyraenidae swirl around, and occasionally one encounters impressive grouper that give the scene a unique aura.
The entire island of Ustica entices with its black volcanic rock, which is also reflected underwater and earned the dive site the nickname “Black Pearl.”
Truly a dive site where everyone must immerse themselves in its beauty.
