Punta Pizzaco
Procida wall dive with gorgonians and fish life.
Boat-led wall dive with a bay-side start, a clear shoulder route, and some current; best for divers comfortable planning a longer wall profile.
About Punta Pizzaco
Punta Pizzaco is a Procida wall dive on the bay side of the point, with a steep drop that runs around the headland. The upper section is rocky with Posidonia patches, then the wall turns into gorgonian bands, sponges, and deeper red-coral growth. It is best treated as a planned wall route with some current and a clear shoulder direction, rather than a casual swim along the shoreline.
