Motore dei Monaci

★★★★☆ (230)

The Motor is the dive north-east of the Islet of the Monks. The name derives from the presence of a large diesel engine located at 23m, at the foot of a small wall facing north. This small wreck offers hiding places to numerous life forms, first of all the conger eels and morays.

Around the engine lives one of the largest shoals of banded sea bream in the area, which undisturbed seem to be suspended in the crystalline water of the island.
