Dive Spot Guide•
I Picchi
Caprera pinnacles boat dive with arches and fish.
Boat dive on Caprera pinnacles with excellent visibility, an arch, and occasional current; best for scuba divers comfortable with depth.
About I Picchi
I Picchi is one of Caprera's signature boat dives, built around two pinnacles that rise to the surface and break into ridges, arches, and wall sections. Clear water, gorgonians, groupers, snappers, barracudas, and nudibranchs make it a strong scenic dive, while the route can pick up a little current and rewards good buoyancy and a planned line.
