Scannella is a sheltered rocky-bay dive and snorkel spot on Ischia where the draw is clear Mediterranean water, a calm shore setting, and an easy connection to the marine park on the south side of the island. It suits relaxed divers who want wall-style terrain, beach access, and a low-key day around the water rather than a long offshore outing.
