About Scoglio Del Corallo
Scoglio del Corallo is a compact offshore reef off Monte Argentario with a shallow crest, broken walls, and a canyon-and-arch profile that rewards controlled buoyancy. Red-coral cracks, gorgonian faces, and tunnel sections make it one of the area's most characterful Mediterranean dives, while the outer line adds more relief and a longer route for qualified teams.

Local Intel For Scoglio Del Corallo
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
The main route is a recreational boat dive with a shallow saddle, canyon walls, an arch, and tunnel sections. Buoyancy control matters more than raw depth.
Freediving
Only the shallow crest is realistic for advanced freedivers on very calm days; the main canyon and arch are better suited to scuba.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling is limited to the shallow crest and calm conditions; the more interesting structure sits deeper.
