Rocky shoal off Finale Ligure with a wall-and-slope profile.
Rocky shoal off Finale Ligure with a wall-and-slope profile.
Secca di Marassi is a jagged rocky shoal off Finale Ligure. Divers usually start on the broad, irregular top, then follow the south-west wall and the gentler north-west slope, where cracks, ledges, and small caves shelter conger eels, moray eels, groupers, lobsters, forkbeards, nudibranchs, and sponges. The dive is usually planned as a boat-based, depth-aware route with a fixed-line return and an advanced-level briefing.
