About Congresso, Isola dei cavoli
Congresso, Isola dei cavoli is a marked scuba site off Villasimius on the west side of Cavoli Island, inside Capo Carbonara's protected waters. The dive follows a granite seascape with rocky relief, a flat-to-gentle profile, and the kind of clear-water structure that makes it approachable for recreational divers. Barracuda, groupers, and gorgonian-covered rock give it most of its character, while the boat setup and MPA rules keep the route orderly and predictable.
