Why dive here
With 136+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, hammerhead sharks, mobula rays (devil rays), octopuses and sea turtles - Faraglioni di Punta della Madonna offers some of Naples & Campania's richest diving.
Heading out from Sorrento, the Faraglioni di Punta della Madonna offers a straightforward, enjoyable dive. You'll descend to around 17 meters, drifting through the impressive rock formations that rise from the seafloor. We’ve found plenty of colourful nudibranchs clinging to the rocks and small scorpionfish blending into the surroundings if you take your time to look closely. It’s a gentle spot, perfect for getting comfortable with Mediterranean diving or for a relaxed afternoon dip, especially on calm days when the visibility opens up.
