Area Marina Protetta Isole Egadi

Spot 8 - Favignana Island

• Trail Conditions: Diving

• Difficulty Level: intermediate / difficult

Difficulty level: intermediate - demanding for the depth, the presence of currents, and difficult orientation.
It is a small shoal going from -27m to -45m.
Interesting for the presence of a big anchor on the bottom, now rich in accretions, the shoal, besides the several gorgoninas, is populated by sea squirts, red starfish, red comb star, and spiny starfish.
Cactus corals lean on the gorgonians, while the false black coral populates the rocks.
On the old fishing nets that got stuck, there are several light bulb sea squirts.
