Scuba Diving
Expect volcanic walls, crevices, caves, schools of fish, and the kind of Mediterranean scenery that makes Linosa famous. Many routes work for both relaxed scenic dives and more ambitious exploration.
Freediving
Freediving works only on the shallowest, calmest edges; the island is mainly a scuba destination.
Snorkeling
Snorkelling is possible in the shallow clear water, but the island's best structure is usually better by scuba.
