LIGHTHOUSE
We begin our descent along
the buoy chain, and once we reach a depth of 18-20 meters, we set off to the
east, moving around two large rocks where large resident groupers are common.
We swim to the west through an alluring landscape between the two rocks at approximately
24 meters.
Continuing
in the same direction, we cross a wide landslide featuring numerous caves and
recesses rich in red coral (Corallium rubrum), followed by a long section in
which there are frequent encounters with moray eels, conger eels, groupers,
schools of dassies, and corvinas. Ascending, we return eastward following a
rock plateau running from 12 to 18 meters until we reach the point, where a
ridge descends abruptly toward the bottom, and we can admire large red gorgonians
(Paramuricee).
This point is usually characterized by a sustained current that
favors the presence of migratory fish such as sea breams, amberjacks, giltheads,
and bass, as well as the usual groupers attracted by the presence of numerous
octopuses.The dive concludes near the point, where we swim around a reef typified
by the spectacular flowering of the yellow cluster anemones (Parazoanthus) and
by the presence of a multitude of fish of every species.
