About Archi - Prateria di Spirografi
Archi - Prateria di Spirografi is a shore-entry dive in the Strait of Messina that is known for its sandy slope and dense spirograph meadow. The route is simple but the scenery is busy: you move from bright sand into a field of tube worms, with seahorses, trumpetfish, cuttlefish and octopus filling the background. Plan around strong current potential, excellent visibility and a steep profile that rewards controlled buoyancy more than speed.
