Protected Area
Arcipelago delle Egadi - area marina e terrestre
Why dive here
With 60+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, sea turtles and sperm whales - Faraglione offers some of Ustica's richest pinnacle diving. Water ranges 15-29°C, warmest July, August, September.
Dropping down onto the pinnacle at Faraglione, you're immediately struck by the sheer wall. We've often found schooling barracuda here, circling the rock, and the occasional loggerhead turtle seems to enjoy the area too. It’s a good spot for a relaxed dive, suitable for most experience levels, especially if you’re keen to just explore a solid piece of rock in clear Mediterranean water.
