Secca delle Corvine

Site Overview

The Secca delle Corvine is the signature wall of the Salento, near Santa Maria di Leuca, where huge groupers and dentex gather among red gorgonians in clear Adriatic water. The sheer drop and the abundance of life make it one of the richest dives in Puglia, and the moderate current often brings the pelagics in. It is a favourite for photographers and a satisfying advanced dive that combines big fish with dramatic scenery at the heel of Italy. The site rewards careful planning, good buoyancy and a respect for Italy’s marine-protection rules, and remains a favourite among Mediterranean divers.
