This dive site is located off the northernmost coast of Costa Paradiso, in a shallow area extending towards deeper waters. Divers can explore a dramatic wall covered with vibrant red coral at approximately 30 meters. It's important to maintain a respectful distance from this delicate environment to avoid damaging it with bubbles. Careful observation reveals intriguing ravines where lobsters and cicadas may be found. Larger marine life, such as groupers and scorpion fish, often seek shelter within the crevices of the reef. This site offers a captivating underwater experience for those who appreciate coral reefs and diverse marine ecosystems.
