I Panettoni di Pietra Menalda

The bottom drops steeply from Pietra Menalda until three dome-shaped rocks appear, the 'panettoni' that give the site its name. Their tops lie around 35 m and their base on sand at 49 m. Red gorgonians, pentagon starfish and melon urchins decorate the lower parts. Higher up, crevices shelter lobsters, large groupers and forkbeard. Because of the depth, bottom time is short.
