Dive-site story
Situated beneath the dramatic cliffs of northeastern Lampedusa near the lighthouse point, Capo Grecale Nord offers quintessential Pelagie Islands topography. Divers descend along stepped limestone shelves that transition into fractured boulders and steep offshore drop-offs, surrounded by excellent Mediterranean clarity. The exposed headland catches open sea currents, drawing schools of pelagic predators along the perimeter.
Steep limestone walls and fractured boulder fields riddled with crevices
Frequent flybys of hunting yellowmouth barracuda and amberjack in the blue
Healthy resident populations of dusky groupers and moray eels along the rocky substrate
