Sandy training reef in Lavagna with a gentle, easy-to-read slope.
Sant'Anna is a sandy training reef in Lavagna with a gentle slope and a straightforward profile that works well for courses and large groups. The bottom stays calm and readable, so it is useful for buoyancy practice and relaxed shallow dives, while the marine life stays modest rather than crowded. The appeal is less about spectacle and more about clean conditions, easy control, and a site that stays friendly when students are moving around.

Scuba Diving
Well-suited to training due to shallow depths, sandy bottom, and gradual slope.
