Why dive here
With 136+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, hammerhead sharks, mobula rays (devil rays), octopuses and sea turtles - Turtle head offers some of Naples & Campania's richest diving.
Turtle Head is a straightforward shore dive near Naples, ideal for knocking the dust off your gear or for newer divers getting comfortable with entries. The site is a shallow rocky reef that slopes gently, offering glimpses of small Mediterranean fish like damselfish and blennies darting between the rocks. We often spot octopus here, tucked into crevices if you look closely. It's a relaxed dive, no strong currents to worry about, making it a good spot for a casual afternoon dip.
