La Madonna della Misericordia, off Ustica, offers a distinctive dive centered around a submerged statue of the Madonna. We've found the site is generally calm, making it a good spot for divers looking for a more serene experience. The statue itself is the main draw, often surrounded by curious damselfish and small schools of Mediterranean fish. It’s a straightforward dive, well-suited for those wanting to explore a unique underwater landmark without challenging conditions.
