About Punta Secca
Punta Secca is a Giannutri boat dive with two underwater arches and a shallow shoal that can roll into deeper wall sections. The route sits on the edge of the protected area, so it feels like a structured island dive rather than a loose open-water drift. It is known for reliable marine life, clear-water conditions and a mix of reef scenery and surprise encounters. The shallow side makes it workable for less experienced divers, while the deeper wall rewards a more deliberate plan.
