About Mortoriotto Reef

Mortoriotto Reef is a protected La Maddalena Park boat dive around the outer islet, with steep walls, red gorgonians, and a long loop that rewards experienced divers. It is a good fit for people who want a current-sensitive reef-and-wall dive with big fish, ravines, and deeper features such as the sandy-bottom car area rather than a relaxed shallow reef.
