About La Madonnina
La Madonnina is a wall-and-cavern dive beneath the Capocaccia promontory, with a colorful route down to the cavern and richer life just off the wall. The site suits divers who are comfortable with overhead space and want a guided boat dive that can continue into deeper water if conditions and the team agree. Expect coral, sponges, and a more serious profile than a simple open reef.
