Punta Secca Shoal
Type of Dive
- Recreational
A perfect dive spot for every level of certification. The “hat” of the shoal starts from 2 meters deep, and there you are surrounded by groups of damselfish and sea bream, and their fry which use the shoal as shelter. The whole shoal is full of burrows of small lobsters, scorpion fish and octopuses. It is easy to spot small and large groupers and, in springtime, a couple of John Dories wandering on the plateau. Moving further away you reach the actual wall, which is also full of life. Snappers and amberjacks can be found at all depths. Melon sea urchins and basket stars welcome those who wish to descend a few more meters. It is one of the most interesting dives on the island of Giannutri.

THE GARDEN OF ZEUS
One of the most fascinating places in Giannutri is located a few dozen meters away from the wall surrounding the Secca di Punta Secca. It is an expanse of small boulders covered with litocarpia, often confused with black coral, around which a large number of Jonh Dories (Zeus Faber) live permanently, making the atmosphere even more enchanting.
