Why dive here
With 60+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, sea turtles and sperm whales - Punta Castagna offers some of Ustica's richest diving. Water ranges 15-29°C, warmest July, August, September.
Punta Castagna gives you a good look at Ustica’s volcanic geology. We’ve found some impressive rock formations here, with small caves and overhangs that are fun to poke around in. Expect to see some moray eels tucked into the crevices, plus plenty of colourful nudibranchs on the walls. It’s a pretty straightforward dive, good for newer divers looking for interesting topography.
