Dive-site story
Situated along the rocky promontory below the historic coastal watchtower on the northwestern coast of Ischia, Mezzatorre features a volcanic seascape where submerged rock formations transition into seagrass meadows and sandy patches. Divers navigate through large basalt boulders, shallow swim-throughs, and creviced walls that provide shelter for quintessential Mediterranean fauna.
Rugged volcanic boulder formations with overhangs and pockets
