About Punta Bassana
Punta Bassana is a Marettimo wall-and-cave dive in the Egadi reserve, with boat access, strong current windows, red gorgonian growth, and a mix of ledges, crevices, and open wall. Divers come for groupers, barracuda, morays, octopus, and other Mediterranean life, plus a profile that rewards careful trim and a guide-led plan rather than a casual drift.
