Boat-accessed Ventotene wall for all levels.
Molo IV is a boat-accessed Ventotene wall dive off Santo Stefano with a stepped boulder slope and a broad depth range. The site is popular because it can suit beginners on the shallow section while still offering deeper options, caves, and strong fish life farther down the wall. Plan the dive by the section you want to explore, not by the site as a whole.

Scuba Diving
The wall starts shallow and then steps down through several sections, so the same site can support easy profiles or deeper plans depending on the team.
Freediving
Freediving works only on the shallowest section; the site is more naturally planned as a scuba wall dive.
Snorkeling
Not a snorkel-first site; the interesting features start below the surface.
