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.
