Ischitella is a rock a few hundred metres off the beach of Praiano, reachable only by sea. Its rocky walls drop beyond fifty metres and are full of marine life at every depth, from the shallowest to the deepest: from the first metres you can see Eunicella, Pinna nobilis, sponges, red gorgonians and a few branches of Gerardia savaglia.

Because the rock is swept by the strong currents of the Gulf of Salerno, during migration periods you can have very interesting encounters with large predators. The dive is especially suited to advanced divers, as both the eastern and western walls show their full splendour below 25 m.

The east side

Descending the east wall of Ischitella you are enchanted by a breathtaking scene of red gorgonians, and at about 40 m there is a fine branch of Gerardia savaglia.
