Scuba diving in the marine Park in Pianosa - Buoy SP2

Diving type: dry, wall
Minimum required certification: advanced
Depth: min 3 m - max 25 m

The dive takes place around a series of rock pinnacles; it can be performed in several ways, the most natural is to reach the bottom of the reef at about -22/25 meters, surrounded by a dense meadow of Posidonia oceanica, and follow its base in a circular manner, ascending to the top of the reef around -4 meters.

In this stretch of sea, there is a vast underwater world that renews itself every time, and the presence of numerous sub-pyramidal rock spurs allows for the creation of different underwater routes and paths each time, either from S-N or N-S, i.e., with or against the current. The dive is never the same, and each time it is possible to discover and rediscover this fascinating underwater world.

Heading along the submerged cliff in the southwest direction, at a depth of -14 m, there is a cave with a horizontal development of a few meters, with a typical coralligenous population.

A school of barracuda is resident in this area, along with numerous and large groupers, croakers, and plenty of shoal fish such as sea bream and salps. It is not rare to spot a school of greater amberjacks or hunting tunas.
