About Secca delle Stelle
Secca delle Stelle is a near-coast seamount dive off Finale Ligure with a rounded top, sloping rocky walls, and dense encrusting life on the structure. The site is built for a slow, easy circuit rather than a long swim: Parazoanthus-covered walls, crevices, and burrows keep the action close to the rock, while the current is usually weak enough that divers can choose the direction that best suits the day.
