Cigliata di Punta Papa is a colorful Ponza wall dive with a steep face, crevices, and dens above a shallow plateau. The route is a multilevel boat profile that lets you work from the top band down to the deeper face, with the best diving on calm days when you can stay organised around the open-sea approach, buoyancy, and return time.
