About Croce
Croce is an advanced boat dive on a Ligurian shoal where a memorial cross marks the deep point and a red sea-fan ridge rises alongside it. The route runs into a milder hollow where sea life gathers in cracks and dens, giving the site a classic rocky-seamount feel. Plan for a short boat transfer, tight buoyancy, and enough gas to enjoy the ridge without rushing the turn.
