Scuba diving at Punta Morcone

Opposite the point it takes its name from, your scuba diving starts here at a depth of 3 metres below the surface and goes down as far as 40 metres.

You then go down the wall of the rock that is covered in parazoanthus,while at approximately 27 metres down you will see the dens where octopus, conger eels and moray eels live.

Swim further down and you will also see beautiful yellow sea fans as well as some groupers.

Heading back towards the surface, amidst the posidinia, you might even see some gobies, small electric rays, green wrasses, damsel fish and even some cuttle fish.

Some damsel fish might even keep you company as you swim back up towards your boat.
