Dive Spot Guide•
Secca di Fetovaia
Boat shoal with red gorgonians and rich marine life.
Local operator required
The shoal is easiest with a local boat operator because the anchor line-up is exact and the outer edge is easy to miss.
A boat-accessed shoal off Fetovaia with a shallow crown and steeper outer slopes. Best for divers who want a careful offshore profile and clear-water days.
About Secca di Fetovaia

It works best as a planned boat dive with a careful eye on the deeper edge, surface traffic, and any old fishing-net remnants. Marine life can include conger eels, moray eels, groupers, snapper, barracuda, tuna, and octopus.
