Dive-site story
Located off the volcanic coastline of Ustica within the marine reserve, Sutta zia Lisa features a submerged landscape of massive basalt boulders, rocky terraces, and dense Posidonia oceanica meadows. Divers navigate through fissures and natural swim-throughs where shadowed recesses shelter crustaceans and morays, while pelagic species cruise the open water just off the drop-off.
Rugged volcanic boulder formations with dramatic swim-throughs and crevices
Frequent encounters with large resident dusky groupers along the rocky ledges
Schools of Mediterranean barracuda and hunting amberjacks in the blue
