CANYON DI GORGONIE (SECCA DI PONENTE)

From the western side of the shoal, after passing its margin, we start diving into the blue! Around 28 meters deep there appear numerous rock formations rich in ravines that are often populated by large moray eels and groupers; at one point, a plateau of white sea fans gives way to two big rocky formations that parallel rise from a depth of 38 meters, forming a short canyon explorable from above; Red gorgonians are especially beautiful here; after exploring the large cracks usually hosting large and sedentary musdee, we move away from dry, out to the open sea, where a big rock is densely populated with red gorgonians of nearly 2 meters high. On the way back, towards the end of the dive, we can explore the other side of this large rocky formation, and explore a small cave hosting shrimps, and have the chance to meet some big scorpion fishes resting on the cliffs of the shoal.
