About Secca di Tramontana
Secca di Tramontana is a current-swept offshore shoal off Linosa built for expert boat diving and one-way profiles. The volcanic crown gives way quickly to steep flanks, canyons and deeper terraces, so the site is about disciplined current management rather than relaxed sightseeing. Big groupers, barracuda and dense midwater fish life make the holes and ridges worth the effort.
