    La Cattedrale at Ustica is a series of interconnected swim-throughs and caverns. Light filters in from above, creating shifting shafts and glow. It's a site that rewards slow exploration, looking for nudibranchs and small crustaceans tucked into crevices. This spot is best for divers comfortable in overhead environments, and keen photographers will find plenty of opportunities.
