About this experience

Diving & Snorkeling in Le Forna is a guided underwater excursion at the northern tip of Ponza, Italy, operating from the rocky coves near the Le Forna district. The activity provides access to clear Tyrrhenian Sea waters with volcanic rock formations, seagrass meadows, and occasional marine life such as groupers and octopuses. Sessions are led by local certified instructors who know the site's currents and entry points.

What to expect

Guided sessions last 2 to 3 hours, including a 30-minute briefing on local currents and underwater topography.
All snorkeling gear (mask, snorkel, fins) and wetsuits are provided, with diving equipment available for certified divers.
Participants explore the submerged volcanic cliffs and the Posidonia oceanica seagrass beds, home to bream, damselfish, and starfish.
The shallow entry point at Cala dei Santi allows easy access for beginners, while deeper drop-offs at Punta della Madonna suit advanced divers.
Sessions run from May to October, with morning departures at 9:00 and afternoon slots at 14:00, weather permitting.
Suitable for adults and children over 8 years; non-swimmers can stay on the boat while others snorkel.
