Scuba diving at punta le Forbici

Scuba diving here is between Punta Galera and Punta Bianca, right under the old, Ginevro mine.

The sea bed is at a depth of 15 m and is made up of large rocks that are full of life thanks to many sea spirographs, sea urchins, sea anemones and a large field of red sea fans. The varied sea bed full of rocks reaches a depth of 40 m then smoothes out towards the open sea.

If on one hand we advise you to be careful here because the currents can be very strong, on the other you will have the joy of seeing various, rather large pelagic fish swim by.

Your scuba diving comes to an end as you swim along the large rocks lying on the sea bed, where you will see numerous conger eels, moray eels, groupers and octopus.
