Why dive here
With 136+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, hammerhead sharks, mobula rays (devil rays), octopuses and sea turtles - Magic Mountain offers some of Naples & Campania's richest pinnacle diving.
Magic Mountain is a pinnacle dive off the coast of Naples, offering a good chance to spot various Mediterranean species. The top of the pinnacle often provides shelter from stronger currents, making it a suitable dive for those comfortable with deeper profiles. We’ve found it’s a reliable spot for encountering schools of barracuda, particularly in the summer months, and the occasional dentex. Expect typical Mediterranean visibility, which means around 15-20 metres on a good day.
