    StandoutRich in charismatic marine life

    Dragone often gets overlooked for the flashier spots, but it’s a solid dive, particularly if you’re looking for a relaxed afternoon. The main attraction here is a wall that drops down, covered in those distinctive pink sea fans and a good spread of bushy coral. We’ve spotted plenty of corbs tucked into crevices, and sometimes a common spiny lobster or two waving antennae from the darker spots. It’s not a drift dive, so you can really take your time exploring the nooks. Good for divers who appreciate a slower pace and want to soak in the Mediterranean atmosphere.
