Secca del Toro Canyon
The canyon with two vertical rock walls
The southwest side of the Secca del Toro shoal offers divers the opportunity to explore a spectacular canyon made up of two vertical rock walls about 3 to 4 m from one another, as well as to admire a remarkable diversity of species, habitats and landscapes. The pathway to the south-east proceeds through a narrow slit that brings you back to the part facing the open sea.
