FACCIAZZA
The beginners' dive
The dive starts on a short rocky top just over 15 m from the wall, and at a depth of approximately 10 m. Following the seabed eastward, you will come to a rocky ledge. From this point, follow the wall (which becomes less steep) in a north-easterly direction, keeping it on your left. The base of the wall reaches depths of up to 25 m, with a mixed sand and rock seabed covered primarily by lush sea grass. Proceeding in a north-easterly direction, initially maintain the same depth and then gradually climb for about 45 m as you follow the route in the opposite direction.
