    StandoutRich in charismatic marine life

    Punta Persico is a relaxed shore dive, ideal for those just starting out or looking for an easy day. We like it for shaking off the dust after a break, or for getting comfortable with new gear. You'll find a gentle slope down to about 18 meters, with plenty of small Mediterranean species like moray eels, scorpionfish, and the occasional octopus tucked into crevices. It’s a solid, undemanding dive site.
