Isolotto
di Vetara
It
is a small desert island amid the sea, with a beautiful underwater
cliff rich of gorgonias and small fishes. The strong currents from
south enrich the area with plankton, allowing an incomparable
richness of life.
Due to long distance from the shore, it is easy to meet large
passing fishes, different kinds of tunas and amberjacks , even also
in large groups. Around the island are remains from ancient and
modern history: greek and roman anchors and amphoras from ancient
shipwrecks are close to bombs and naval artillery grenades from the
WWII. Unfortunately most of the archaeological items were stolen in
the years, but the best dive site is the Scarpa, a sort of
underwater mountain raising to 6 m depth, one hundred meters long
toward Capri. It is easy to see it from the surface, due to its
clear surface and to the clearness of the water.
