About Secca dei Monaci
Secca dei Monaci is a large offshore reef east of Isola dei Monaci, marked by a buoy and usually dived by boat. The top breaks into pinnacles, walls, and canyons, and current often turns the run into a drift through gorgonians and dense fish life. It suits divers who are comfortable adjusting to flow and want a site with changing scenery on the same pass.
