About Scoglio dell’Eremita Parete Sud
Scoglio dell’Eremita Parete Sud is a shore-access dive on the southern face of the San Paolo islet near Polignano a Mare. The route follows a steep rocky wall on the swell-exposed side of the islet, with crevices and small overhangs that reward a slow, careful swim. Plan it for calm sea conditions and a controlled pace, especially on the rocky approach and exposed wall, where nudibranchs, moray eels, octopus, and passing schools of fish are common highlights.
