Shore-access sandy wall dive with deep slope and debris.
Capo Noli is a shore-access sandy wall dive below the Ligurian cliffs, where the site starts gently and then tips into a much steeper sand slope with rocks, boulders, and scattered debris. The dive is known for patient exploration and sand-dwelling life, so it suits careful finning, good trim, and divers comfortable with depth rather than fast movement or rough-water exploring.
