Dive-site story
Situated along the rocky Tuscan coast south of Livorno, Le Aragoste centers around a rugged rocky shoal punctuated by deep fractures, ledges, and overhangs. The relief drops into coralligenous substrate where cracks shelter crustaceans and typical Mediterranean reef dwellers. Divers follow the rocky steps down toward deeper sandy margins before returning along the upper formations.
Deep fissures and overhangs harboring Mediterranean spiny lobsters and slipper lobsters
Coralligenous rocky walls encrusted with red sea fans and sponges
Frequent encounters with dusky groupers resting near rocky hollows
