Dive-site story
Located along the rugged northern coast of Lampedusa, Taccio Vecchio centers on an expansive underwater cavern and natural arch system cut into the limestone cliff. Daylight streams through multiple openings in the cavern roof, illuminating sandy corridors and boulder-strewn swim-throughs before the seabed slopes outward into open Mediterranean blue water.
Large limestone cavern with ambient overhead light and broad swim-through arches
Frequent encounters with Mediterranean parrotfish along the sunlit shallows
Dusky groupers resting inside cavern shadows and deep crevices
