05. Aquile

The Aquile bank is called like this because it’s easy to meet, in some periods of the year, many Spotted Eagle Rays that often swimming about the bank cap at about – 24 mt. This bank perimeter is characterized by walls that fall vertically toward the depth. The most beautiful part to be explored is the one turned toward Elba, very coloured, full of life and often frequented by Greater fork-beard, Ombres and Dentex, even if Morays and Lobsters, usual diving mates in the Mediterranean, lack. Here the current is often very strong till making the diving very difficult or also impossible.
