The working route begins around the 18m plateau on one side, the stepped pipeline structure climbs to about 35m, and the opposite flank drops toward a sandy bottom around 40m.
Best Season
Late spring through summer, when the calmest boat windows and clearest water are most likely.
Typical Conditions
Structured boat dive with a promontory wall, stepped pipeline feature, and a route that changes with side choice and sea state.
Site conditions, restrictions, and access requirements.
Site Conditions
Safety Notes
Plan the dive as a guided boat site, watch the depth, and keep buoyancy tight around the pipeline structure and wall edges.

Protected-area site with authorized dive-center access in the designated zone.
Legal Notes
Public regulations for the Punta Campanella marine protected area list Punta Baccoli as an authorized dive point in zone C.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Best as a guided boat dive with a computer and light. The structure rewards slow exploration, especially on the wall and pipeline sections.
Freediving
Not the primary use case. The depth and wall structure make scuba the sensible mode for most visits.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling is secondary here and mostly limited to calm-water surface time near the cove rather than the full dive route.
