Dive Spot Guide•
Secchitello
Expert blue-water boat dive on Ustica's pinnacle reef.
Deep offshore pinnacles and possible current make this a planned blue-water dive for experienced teams rather than a casual reef swim.
About Secchitello
Secchitello is an expert-level boat dive off Ustica where a sandy base rises into a chain of blue-water pinnacles. It rewards controlled descents, buoyancy discipline and short planned bottom time, with red gorgonians, black coral and dense fish life making it one of the island's standout deep sites. The site is best treated as a technical-style dive rather than a casual reef drift.
