About this dive site

This dive site, Scoglio Nave, located a few kilometers from Arenzano in Italy, offers an easy and enjoyable diving experience. It features an area of approximately 100 square meters characterized by submerged rocks and boulders scattered around a central outcrop. While there's no specific historical context provided, its simple topography makes navigation straightforward, ideal for those new to diving.

The marine life here includes octopuses, peacock wrasses, and some large salpas. The true highlight for many divers, however, lies within the intricate ecosystems formed by algae and sponges, which host a good variety of nudibranchs and other small invertebrates.

The site is particularly recommended for night dives, which reveal many naturalistic views that are less apparent during the day. Its shallow depths (max 16m, avg 8m) make it excellent for both beginner scuba divers and freedivers. It's an ideal spot for macro photography enthusiasts due to the diverse small marine life.
