Why dive here
With 136+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, hammerhead sharks, mobula rays (devil rays), octopuses and sea turtles - Banco di Santa Croce offers some of Naples & Campania's richest reef diving.
Banco di Santa Croce is a straightforward dive, well-suited for beginners looking to get comfortable in the area. Dropping to 31 meters, you'll find a gently sloping seabed. We often see scorpionfish tucked into the rocks and various small Mediterranean wrasse species darting about. It’s a good spot for a relaxed dive, especially if you're keen to take your time and practice buoyancy.
