Local Intel For Punta Coticcio
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Best as a guided multilevel boat dive with buoyancy control and a computer. The boulders, channels, and deeper wall reward steady positioning rather than speed.
Freediving
Not a standalone freedive target here because the site is managed as a protected dive area with center-led scuba access.
Snorkeling
The shallows can be scenic, but the main attraction sits deeper on the protected rock structures.
