Secca della Colombara

The most beautiful dive in the island starts with the big cap, at about 10 meters depth with the lower point at 3 meters depth. On the north-west point, a wall of basalts leads to a plateau of big rocks, rich in corals, a good habitat for big serranidi such as brown groupers, golden groupers and wreckfishes. On the left, at about 30 meters depth, there is a beautiful wall (with its famous “big breast”) which lowers to 45 meters. You will see horny corals, calcareous sea-weeds, astroides, sponges and swarms of sea-squirts. At the maximum depth there are organ-pipe like sponges, a unique landscape in the Mediterranean sea. You will also meet pelagic fishes, such as barracudas, amberjacks and possibly tunas. There are always big banks of salpe, banded breams and saddled sea breams. The shoal goes from 50 meters to its opening where you can meet some morays and you can play with the rainbow wrasses (Depth of 3 to 40 meters)..
