This dive site is located a few minutes by boat from the port. Suitable for all levels, it allows you to follow a wall and, for those with the right training, to enter a cave that has two air bubbles inside. In the first room we find the statue of S. Bartolo, patron saint of the island.

Located very close to the port, it has two different itineraries: an archaeological site and a wall. Both routes are suitable for both beginners and more experienced divers. In the first we can see stocks of Roman and Punic anchors already at 18m. The wall is full of ravines and also has a very large cave.

A few minutes from the port, in a south-south-west direction, there is a lava wall that reaches a depth of 40 meters from the surface. Characterized by the presence of a canyon: the famous “Spaccazza di San Paolo“ which creeps into the mountain for several metres.

One mile southwest of Ustica harbor is Punta Galera: a lava flow bisects a bay. Here you can follow several dive routes that allow you to follow profiles suitable for divers of any experience. It is also one of the sites where courses are held.

About a mile and a half in a westerly direction from the port of Ustica, is Punta dell’Arpa, characterized on the surface by the presence of its famous “scoglio del cornutone“. Underwater, two large rocks rise from a sandy bottom of 40 m, whose walls are colonized by large branches of red gorgonians.

Two miles South West Of the Ustica’s harbour, there is this dive site that raises from a sandy bottom at 50m/150 ft goes up to his top at 26m/78 ft. It’s surely one of the top dive spots of the island with lots of corals and fishes.

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.

A 15-minute navigation from the port, on the southern side of the island, is this cove with crystal clear water and an unusual name. This dive site is characterized by a multitude of passages formed by landslides of boulders, that offer plays of wonderful light.

It is an emerged rock distant 400mt from the integral Marine Reserve. It offers almost six different tours depending on the divers experience . This is one of the most beautiful area of the Mediterranean Sea for its richness of fish and corals.

About six miles in a westerly direction from the port of Ustica, about 350 meters from the lighthouse of Punta Spalmatore, between 9 and 12 meters deep are the three pinnacles of what is commonly called the “shoal of Africa “
