Description

Punta Meliso is a beginner-friendly dive at the southernmost tip of Puglia near Santa Maria di Leuca, where the Adriatic and Ionian seas meet at the 'heel' of the Italian boot. The rocky promontory extends underwater with gentle slopes covered in Mediterranean sponges, Posidonia beds, and small gorgonians. The mixing of two seas creates unique conditions that support diverse marine life — damselfish, grouper, and ornate wrasse are commonly spotted. The historic lighthouse above and the geographic significance of this meeting point make every dive here a special Italian experience.
