About Punta Sciusciau
Punta Sciusciau is a rocky wall dive on the north-eastern side of Isola Gallinara, with caves, crevices, and a steep profile that rewards careful trimming and close buddy control. It is one of the island's standout routes for fish and photography, and it works best as a guided boat dive when the current is light enough to let you hold the wall comfortably. The reserve setting and the boat approach make it a tidy, orderly dive rather than a casual shore scramble.
