Dive-site story
Located in the Bocche di Bonifacio area off northern Sardinia, this granite rock formation rises from a sandy seafloor. The granite features characteristic Mediterranean tafoni hollows, crevices, and swim-throughs shaped by erosion. Open water currents sweeping past the rock attract schooling pelagic fish, making it a reliable spot to observe predatory behavior along the drop-offs.
