Turtle Head is a beginner-friendly dive site along the Amalfi Coast near Positano, named for a distinctive rock formation resembling a sea turtle's head emerging from the water. Below the surface, volcanic boulders create sheltered areas where octopus, moray eels, and colorful nudibranchs thrive. Posidonia meadows border the rocky reef, providing nursery habitat for juvenile fish. The gentle slope and typically calm conditions make this an ideal introduction to Amalfi Coast diving, with the dramatic cliffside coastline providing a breathtaking surface interval backdrop.
