    Bowesfield on Ustica offers a straightforward dive, well-suited for less experienced divers or those looking for a relaxed exploration. We’ve found plenty of Mediterranean usual suspects here: damselfish, ornate wrasse, and sometimes an octopus tucked into the rocks. The site is a good introduction to Ustica’s underwater scenery without challenging currents or deep profiles.
