GROTTA DEL BUE MARINO

The large boulder of conger

The underwater pathway starts on the western side of the shoal, where the first peak at the depth of 3 m can be easily reached. Upon arriving, follow the landslide of rocks as they descend to the sandy seabed below, at a depth of approximately 40 m. From here, in order to reach the craft’s remains, the route to be followed is that which is indicated by the presence of a cylinder anemone (Cerianthus membranaceus) on the sand below.

A dark long narrow silhouette will begin to appear on the sandy sea floor, at a depth of 46 m: it is a section of a raft just over ten metres long and a couple of metres wide. After exploring the remains, the dive’s second destination can be reached by heading back to the side of the shoal and following the rocky seabed to the left. At a depth of about 20 m, where the seabed mainly consists of large isolated boulders, the linearity of the rocky slope is interrupted and converges decisively towards the centre of the lava mass. The channel leads to the entrance of a small tunnel, which shortens the dive by providing a way to cross the ridge.
