Wall
Boat dive in the Bergeggi marine reserve, with a wall-and-gully profile, guided access, and the best payoff for divers comfortable in moving water.
About Canalone
Canalone is Bergeggi Island's signature boat dive in the marine protected area, built around a north-east wall and gully that steps from a shallow shelf into a more dramatic rocky face. The route is all about ledges, splits, and sheltered cracks where sponges, nudibranchs, morays, and mixed reef fish stack up. Plan it as a guided dive with steady buoyancy, because the south side can pick up flow and the site rewards calm conditions.
Safety & Access
Safety Notes
Best for divers who can hold trim and manage a wall profile. Watch the south side for rising flow and keep the dive compact if conditions start to move.
Access Restrictions
Inside the reserve, dive access is managed and independent entry is limited by local permit rules. Plan around authorized-center logistics.
Legal Notes
Night dives are restricted in the reserve, and individual dives are subject to local authorization rules where they apply.
