Strombolicchio
The site with two dives
The dive begins on a short shoal opposite the island of Stromboli. The northern wall descends vertically, and the rock has numerous crevices. The wall to the west consists of various drop-offs and extends down to a depth of 18 m. The cavities in the southwest can be reached by following the side facing the island, which consists of a light-coloured wall with a large vertical cave between 2 and 15 m in depth. Below a platform, you can make out a large multi-faceted rock. The Terraces are located along the south-east wall, where a large balcony can be found at the depth of 14 m. Continuing ahead, the remainder of the descent consists of a series of terraces.
