About Cala Giacone
Cala Giacone is a sheltered bay dive in Ustica with a sandy basin, a wall broken by boulder landslide passages, and canyon-like cuts that make the site feel very different from the island's more reef-heavy dives. It is a relaxed, beginner-friendly outing with clear water, a shallow start, and enough structure to keep the navigation interesting without turning the dive into a hard current or deep reef challenge.
