RED PATH (up to -40 meters)
After checking our equipment with a pre-dive check we will be ready to go down. The Raviolo boa is very close to the Promontory. Arriving at the dead body at -17 meters, a school of snappers welcomes us swimming around the chain. We will follow the plateau that slopes towards the open sea towards the SOUTH. Large groupers emerge from behind the rocks to observe our passage. At -30mt large boulders resting one on the other form a suggestive passage with the exit at -36m. The roof is covered with Leptosamnia Pruvoti (yellow coral).
Reached the exit on our left we will follow the wall full of coral, the jewel of the Mediterranean.
At about -26 meters on the wall, on our left there will be a small cave a few meters deep where we can safely enter and try with the light of the torch to identify the presence of conger eels, snouts and magnosa …
We will continue going up towards EAST until we reach a conical boulder at -23 meters that leads us to the edge of the wall in front of us. From there we will continue to climb towards the Promontory in a NORTH-EAST direction until we find a small cave at – 6 meters where a source of fresh water flows, inside which we will be able to observe the phenomenon of the HALOCLINUS (the fresh water that mix with the salty one). From here we will start the return path with the wall on the right until we meet the mooring buoy chain.

GREEN PATH (up to -18 mt)
After the pre-dive check we will descend near the chain. Once we reach the bottom at -17 meters we will start swimming among the numerous boulders on the plateau. Along the way we will meet countless species of fish such as large brown groupers, snappers, corvine, moray eels that come out of their burrows under the rocks.
At a certain point the plateau is interrupted and a wall begins whose conformation we will follow up to an altitude of -6 meters where a cave opens from which a source of fresh water flows, inside which we can observe the phenomenon of HALOCLINUS (fresh water that mixes with salt). From here we will start the return path with the wall on the right until we meet the mooring buoy chain.
