About Punta Falconara

Punta Falconara is the protected Gallinara-island boat dive at the island's western point, with a clear-water wall, the Christ statue as a reference, and a route that stays interesting without becoming technical. The shallow line is friendly enough for newer divers, while the optional deeper continuation gives the site extra structure and makes current management matter when the sea shifts.
