PARETE DEI GABBIANI

The wall of red gorgonian sea fans

Moor your boat to the north in the direction of the Scoglio dei Monaci outcropping, where the sandy seabed lies at a depth of 17 metres. Near the anchoring point, at the depth of 18 m, you will encounter the wreck of a small boat, which was sunk during a storm. Continuing on with your back to the beach, you will come to the edge of the wall below, which runs parallel to the coast and drops from a depth of 22 m to more than 60 m. Descending along the wall and keeping it on your right, you can reach the depth of 36 m. Swimming further ahead, you will come to a rocky outcropping at the same depth. Beyond this point, the seabed’s profile and morphology change once again, with wide channels and ciliates extending out into the open sea, where scattered rocks lie, teeming with life. At this point, it is time to head back: keeping the wall on your left, ascend until you reach the ciliate at a depth of about 18/20 m, and from there return to the boat.

IMPORTANT. Since the anchoring point is flat up until the edge of the wall itself, it is a good idea to establish a reference point before exploring the wall below. This will prevent you from re-surfacing in open water far from the boat.
