Secca della Colombara
★★★★★
(379)
Fifteen minutes by boat from the port of Ustica is this incredible shoal which, from a depth of 50m, goes up to a depth of 3 meters at the top. The formation makes it accessible to both beginners and experienced divers.
In addition to the walls full of sponges, astroides, parazoanthus and gorgonians, it is easy to meet large shoals of barracudas, groupers, ducts, snappers and breams.
