About Pifferaio
Pifferaio is a protected Bergeggi marine-reserve boat dive with a wall, small crevices, and a compact route that is often chosen when the sea is less settled. The site is easy rather than challenging, but it rewards close inspection with fish life, nudibranchs, and other small Mediterranean species. A metal reference point and a shallow platform make the route feel organized and low-friction once you are on site.
