Punta Bassana Scoglio Cavo is an advanced dive off Marettimo island, featuring a hollow rock formation that creates a dramatic natural amphitheater underwater descending to 42 meters. The site combines a small cave system within the hollowed rock with impressive external walls covered in pristine gorgonian gardens. The Egadi marine reserve's protection ensures abundant marine life — enormous grouper, dense barracuda schools, and lobsters are highlights. Marettimo's legendary water clarity, often exceeding 40 meters visibility, allows divers to fully appreciate this remarkable geological formation in the heart of the Egadi archipelago.
