Secca Del Magazzino

Secca del Magazzino is a shallow submarine seamount off the Ligurian coast near Bergeggi. The site typically features a rocky outcrop that drops quickly to deeper waters, forming a compact topography with crevices and small overhangs. Access is straightforward from the coast with a short boat ride. Visibility in this area can vary seasonally but generally ranges from good to moderate. Typical Mediterranean resident life around this reef includes groupers, sea breams, octopus, and moray eels, with a variety of damselfish and wrasse inhabiting the rocky nooks. The site is suitable for experienced beginners and intermediate divers looking for a concise dive with interesting structures without long decompression obligations. Currents are usually mild but can pick up with wind and tides; plan for a guided drift if conditions allow, especially near Bergeggi and Spotorno. Nearby towns such as Bergeggi, Spotorno and Merello provide convenient access and shoreline facilities.
