IL SECCHITELLO
The pelagic fish dive
The Secchitello consists of a series of “pinnacles” that rise from the sandy seabed at a depth of 50 m, and features a series of tops, the shallowest of which is located at 24 m. It marks the beginning of a free fall. A few metres away there is a trough surmounted by high rocky ridges, which is known as the “catino” (or “bowl”). At a depth ranging from 30 to 35 m, the route can vary depending on the current and the number of fish encountered.
IMPORTANT. The site is difficult to locate and can be reached with the help of more experienced guides.

The beginning of the itinerary, which is marked by a buoy, can be reached by land from the Cala Tramontana pier, or else by sea by mooring your boat to the appropriate float. The itinerary begins at a depth of about 8 m, on a seabed covered with sea grass that slopes down to a sandy plateau.
