The House of the Mayor

It takes its name from a house overlooking the sea that once belonged to a mayor.
How much I love this dive, one of my favorites! A plateau full of life and a canyon at -10 meters, nice to visit where you can admire the play of light that is created on beautiful sunny days. Beautiful deep sea, even more exciting from -20 meters up where brown groupers, barracudas, snappers, corvine, white bream, golden groupers or Alexandrian groupers.

RED PATH (up to -40 meters)
After the pre-dive check we will descend to the dead body of the buoy at about 16/18 meters. We will fin to the west on the sand until we reach an iron staircase placed near the wall. Following the rocky bottom we will reach the top, at -33 meters, of a large boulder in the shape of a solitary horseshoe in the middle of a stretch of sand, covered by numerous gorgonians! What a show!
After a few minutes we will return towards the landslide in the NORTH-WEST direction, we will go up again until we reach the plateau at -18 meters. In front of us there will be a large boulder where it will be easy to meet large brown groupers.
Continuing west we will find a large rock, covered with posidonia, which extends towards the open sea, an excellent sighting point for observing the barracuda shoals.

Heading towards the Promontory we will reach a rocky spur adjacent to the wall; from there the return journey will begin. After a few meters with the coast on our left we will enter a canyon at a depth of -10 meters, characterized by a series of individual boulders around which we can swim in search of Corvine, Bream, Grouper, large shoals of Salpe. Further on, the canyon narrows and rises in altitude up to -6 meters. After having climbed over the last rocks on our left, a large crack opens up to be illuminated with the torch. Now the wall becomes smoother and more uniform until the expanse of sand and debris reappears below us. From above we will see the iron staircase on the seabed. We will follow the course of the wall on our left at a depth of -6 meters until we meet a stepped recess that acts as a reference point to return to the mooring chain, which we can reach leaving the wall behind.

GREEN PATH (up to -18 mt)
After the pre-dive check we will descend on the dead body at about -16/18 meters, with the wall on the right we will swim in the SOUTH-WEST direction over a sandstone for a few minutes and then meet a landslide at -18 meters. Keeping this depth and direction for a few minutes we will reach the large plateau characterized by a large boulder at -16 meters where it will be easy to meet large brown groupers.

Continuing west we will find a large rock, covered with posidonia, which extends towards the open sea, an excellent sighting point for observing the barracuda shoals.
