About Faro dei Monaci
Faro dei Monaci is a La Maddalena boat dive that starts in a sheltered bay and then bends toward a granite drop-off. The site suits divers who want a scenic route with structure that changes as current and waves shift the line, from rocks full of holes to a deeper gorgonian zone on the western side. Expect morays, groupers, and a bright, fishy wall rather than a flat reef.
