The Light House

One of the most fascinating and richest dives from a naturalistic point of view.

RED PATH (up to -40 mt)
After a pre-dive check, we will begin by descending under the boat to the dead body of the buoy at -25m. With the promontory on our left towards the EAST we will meet a first boulder with a horizontal crack in the lower part. At about -32 meters, the first gorgonians appear. The DEEP patents will be able to continue to descend up to -40 meters reaching the ridge and then go up again by reversing the direction of travel towards the WEST, with the wall on the right, joining the ADV at -30 meters.
On our right at -27 meters we will follow a path between large boulders where it will be easy to meet dens with octopuses inside them. At an altitude of -18 meters we will turn left and with the wall on the right we will fin until we reach the characteristic round boulder resting on a small plateau at -16 meters. Looking to our left in the blue it will be easy to spot snappers, amberjacks and tuna hunting. After the landslide, near an overhanging wall, we will reverse the direction again, with the left wall towards EAST, we will turn clockwise around a large cone-shaped boulder. From here a beautiful plateau will open at -14 meters where huge brown groupers live. At the end of the plateau we will rise up to -8 meters (we will be under the LIGHTHOUSE) and, if there is no current, always keeping the wall on our left, we will turn 90 ° to the left, NORTH-WEST direction, passing between the wall of the promontory and a first elongated boulder (before the storm full of
Parazoanthus Axinellae), and then immediately after finding themselves in front of a large block of rounded rock collapsed from the cliff above during the terrible storm of 2018.
Now our dive is about to end. We will go back passing through the two boulders keeping the wall to our right and we will stop at -5 meters where we will make our stop of 3 mn. Since the buoy is slightly detached from the Promontory, with poor visibility it is advisable to go out on the wall.

GREEN PATH (up to -18 mt)
After the pre-dive check you will descend along the chain keeping it only as a reference point.
At -18 meters we will begin to fin towards the EAST towards the gigantic boulders that we will visit in an accurate way given the large amount of octopuses that we can find in the various ravines.
Around the groupers and snappers swim carefree. It is also easy to meet schools of barracuda. After the tour around the Masons we will head towards
WEST keeping the plateau on our right and from here we will continue towards the west remaining on the outermost side (always at -18 meters) on the border with the blue where it is easy to spot snappers, amberjacks and tuna hunting. At the end of the landslide, near an overhanging wall we will reverse the direction towards EAST again and we will turn clockwise around a large cone-shaped boulder. From here a beautiful plateau will open at -14 meters where huge brown groupers live. At the end of the plateau we will rise up to -8 meters (we will be under the LIGHTHOUSE) and, if there is no current, always keeping the wall on our left, we will turn 90 ° to the left towards NORTH-WEST, we will pass between the wall of the promontory and a first elongated boulder (before the storm rich in Parazoanthus Axinellae), and then immediately after being faced with a large block of rounded rock collapsed from the cliff above during the terrible storm of 2018.
Now our dive is about to end. We will go back passing through the two boulders keeping the wall to our right, at -5 meters we will make the stop of 3 mn. Since the buoy is slightly detached from the Promontory, in case of suboptimal visibility, it is advisable to go out on the wall. Definitely one of those dives not to be missed!
