About Secche del Fico
Secche del Fico is a boat-only drift over a granitic ridge between Molara and Tavolara, where channel flow reshapes the route and the main appeal is moving water, rocky structure, and the chance of larger fish on the pass. It suits advanced open-water teams that can time the drift around calmer windows with a local operator.

Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba
Best for divers comfortable with drift planning, open-water buoyancy, and a route that is more dynamic than a static reef.
Freedive
Not a casual freedive target. The site is much more naturally suited to guided scuba drift diving.
Snorkel
Snorkel use is limited to the very shallow edges and only makes sense in calm conditions.
