Scoglio Penna
A small, sharp, tall and narrow rock rising at the eastern edge of the Bay of Ieranto, separated from the coast by a narrow channel that boats cross constantly in summer. The dive here is very interesting: lying almost on the border between the Gulfs of Salerno and Naples, the rock is constantly exposed to strong currents.
From the first metres the walls teem with life on every side and at every depth; the outer side in particular, which plunges beyond 50 m, is covered in splendid Paramuricea sea fans. On the way up you notice a hole running through the rock at about 6 m, carpeted with colonies of orange coral (Astroides calycularis) and yellow encrusting anemones (Parazoanthus axinellae). It is one of the most interesting dives on the Sorrento coast.
