Why dive here
With 136+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, hammerhead sharks, mobula rays (devil rays), octopuses and sea turtles - Secca dei mattoni offers some of Naples & Campania's richest reef diving.
Secca dei Mattoni is a nice introduction to diving in the Bay of Naples, especially if you’re just getting comfortable in the Mediterranean. Dropping to a gentle 23 metres, it’s a site that suits beginners well, giving you space to relax without battling strong currents. We often find playful damselfish darting between the rocks and the occasional moray eel peeking from a crevice. It’s a pleasant, easy dive, perfect for a relaxed afternoon under the Italian sun.
