Secca di Zi Costante

Argentario Divers named the shoal after the last owner of an old Giannutri restaurant, who had often fished there. The top is a rocky dome about ten metres high, surrounded by pinnacles and ridges covered in yellow and red gorgonians, sponges of every shape and soft corals. Paralcyonium spinulosum, which resembles a tropical soft coral, is one of the rarer species. On the first dive the team found five sunfish at a cleaning station. The park's protection since 1996 keeps the site intact.
