Secca del Papa 2

Also known as: Papa 2 · Tavolara - Secca del Papa 2

Papa 2 lies about 70 m north of Papa 1, and Orso Diving reaches it by swimming over from the first summit at 18 to 20 m. The ridge is covered in red and yellow Paramuricea gorgonians, and groupers and schools of brown meagre are common. On the outer tip, at about 36 to 38 m, lucky divers see large schools of dentex with golden groupers and white seabream, and sometimes tuna. Because of its depth it is only for experienced divers, and Nitrox 32 is recommended to extend bottom time.
