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 del Mariuolo offers some of Naples & Campania's richest reef diving.
Secca del Mariuolo is a decent enough dive if you're exploring the Neapolitan coast. Dropping to a manageable 27 metres, it’s a good spot for newer divers to get comfortable with Mediterranean conditions. We've seen a fair number of colourful nudibranchs here, especially in the spring, and often schools of damselfish flitting among the rocks. It’s not going to blow your mind, but it’s a pleasant way to spend an hour underwater and a solid option if you're staying local.
