About this dive site

This dive site, Passo Cecca di Morto, is a remarkably shallow and beautiful lagoon-like area within the La Maddalena Archipelago. With a maximum depth of just 4 meters, navigation is simple, primarily exploring the sandy, grassy, and rocky beds. Its clear, turquoise waters offer a serene and easy diving experience, perfect for relaxation and observation of the underwater environment.

Below the surface, divers and snorkelers will encounter a variety of Mediterranean fish and numerous invertebrates thriving amongst the diverse bottom terrain. The interplay of white sand, green seagrass, and granite rocks creates rich habitats supporting a vibrant array of smaller marine life.

The best time to visit is during the warmer months when the sun enhances the crystalline waters and highlights the scenic contrasts. This site is exceptionally suitable for snorkelers and freedivers due to its shallow depth and excellent visibility, offering a fantastic opportunity to enjoy the stunning natural beauty and observe marine life close to the surface.
