Punta Nasuto

Punta Nasuto is a famous dive site in Marciana Marina and also is one of the best dive sites in Italy. Here the seabed is very varied. For an interesting dive, start from the east side of the promontory. After moving through thick shoals of damselfish hanging constantly in mid-water, you will reach the base of the cliff at a depth of 42 meters.

This underwater itinerary continues for about 50 meters towards the open sea along a sandy track until reaching a large isolated rock that rises on the surface of the water for a couple of meters. The life surrounding these two cliffs is extraordinary: there are shoals of white breams and shade fish inside the deep clefts, with lobsters and conger-eels appearing from behind the rocks, as well as the beautiful Anthias whirling inside the cracks with their pink coats. The rocks display a particularly rich coralligenous with bright colorful sponges, bryozoans, and the delicate crowns of the Protula tubular.

Location: Livorno, Toscana, Italy.

Best Time To Dive: June to August.
