About Le Colonne di Carloforte

Le Colonne di Carloforte is a boat-access rocky stack dive on San Pietro's south coast, where wind-shaped pillars, gullies, and ledges create a slow scenic profile. The rock faces carry plenty of close-up Mediterranean life, so the site suits patient divers who want a calm-weather route-finding dive rather than a fast, deep outing.
