About Secca del Pisello
Secca del Pisello is an offshore Leuca secca with a rocky top, stepped ledges, and dense gorgonian growth along the drop-off. It is a current-sensitive boat dive for experienced divers, where the route is shaped by the day’s sea state and the operator’s plan for the descent and ascent rather than by a simple straight line.

Local Intel For Secca del Pisello
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Best as a deep boat dive for experienced divers who want a gorgonian bank and are comfortable managing current on the line.
Freediving
Not a practical freedive target; the useful structure sits too deep and the current profile is too demanding.
Snorkeling
Not a snorkel site except as surface support. The real dive happens well below a simple surface swim.
