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 Vricci offers some of Naples & Campania's richest reef diving.
Secca dei Vricci is an expert-level dive near Naples, dropping to 44 meters. The site is a deep pinnacle, best suited for experienced divers comfortable with extended bottom times. We’ve found decent Mediterranean gorgonians and the occasional passing pelagic here, but it's really the depth that draws people. Conditions can vary, so always check local reports.
