With 60+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, sea turtles and sperm whales - Zio Gennaro offers some of Ustica's richest diving. Water ranges 15-29°C, warmest July, August, September.
Zio Gennaro, off Ustica, offers a typical Mediterranean wall dive. We often find schooling barracuda hanging in the blue, along with scorpionfish tucked into the rock crevices. It’s a good, straightforward dive suitable for most experience levels when conditions are calm. Keep an eye out for nudibranchs on the sponges.
