The Conero promontory juts into the Adriatic Sea on the Marche coast and provides the backdrop for a small but varied set of dive sites. Two wrecks, Relitto Potho and Relitto Nicole, sit at accessible depths and have become focal points for marine life. Scoglio del Trave and Il Passetto offer shallower reef diving suitable for those building experience. Sites are generally reachable by boat, though combined access is available at some. The species list includes common octopus, European spiny lobster, snake eel, gorgonian, and sea pike.
