Punta San Francesco
★★★★☆
(674)
The dive takes place a short distance from the fully protected area of the Giannutri marine protected area which guarantees the possibility of spectacular encounters at any depth. The site is marked by two mooring buoys anchored at a depth of approximately 12/14 m on a rocky bottom.
In the ravines between the surface rocks and in the cracks of the cliff it is easy to spot large scorpion fish and lobsters, while in the blue barracuda and snapper are common.
