About Il Fungo
Il Fungo is the mushroom-shaped granite outcrop on the eastern edge of the Spargi shoals. It is a boat dive for experienced divers who want exposed rocky relief, current-aware planning, and reliable big-fish encounters around the rock and shaded ledges. Treat it as a real open-water dive rather than a casual scenic stop.

Scuba Diving
Best suited to certified divers with solid buoyancy and current discipline. Treat the dive as an advanced boat outing with enough reserve for route changes.
Freediving
Not a freedive-first site; the depth profile and current make it a poor casual freedive target.
