    StandoutDramatic pinnacle topography

    La Grande Montagna is one of Ustica's deeper dives, dropping down a series of steps and shelves. You'll often find pelagic species cruising past, with barracuda and amberjacks common sightings in the blue. Keep an eye on the walls for moray eels tucked into crevices. This site is best suited for experienced divers comfortable with greater depths and open water.
