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 di Gioia offers some of Naples & Campania's richest reef diving.
Secca di Gioia is a shallow reef, topping out at 15 metres, which sounds easy but the currents here can be a real workout. We’ve seen it calm, but more often than not, you'll be drifting along fairly quickly, making it one for experienced divers who are comfortable with the flow. Keep an eye out for octopus tucked into the crevices and schooling barracuda patrolling the edges of the reef. If you hit it on a good day, the light plays beautifully through the water, illuminating the colours of the gorgonians. It’s a fun, zippy dive when the conditions align.
