Conditions or access may require a local guide. Dive with a local operator.
Punta del Nasuto is an open-water wall dive just outside Marciana Marina's harbor, with a rocky headland, steep relief, and clear water when conditions are settled. It is best treated as an intermediate site: the shallower section is manageable, but the wall drops quickly and rewards divers who stay controlled and keep an eye on the exposed edge. The site is known for dramatic scenery and regular fish life rather than easy flat-water comfort.
