Why dive here
With 60+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, sea turtles and sperm whales - Secca della Colombara offers some of Ustica's richest diving. Water ranges 15-29°C, warmest July, August, September.
Secca della Colombara is a straightforward dive off Ustica, good for getting your fins wet without too much fuss. You’ll typically find a decent rock formation, home to plenty of little Mediterranean critters like moray eels peeking from crevices and schools of colourful damselfish flitting about. It’s an easy entry and exit, making it a good choice for newer divers or those looking for a relaxed afternoon dip. We often stop here for a second dive of the day.
