Scoglio di Capri is a deep reef site located 500 metres off the coast of Ischia, Italy. The topography consists of a reef structure ranging from 35 to 58 metres in depth, with an average depth of 45 metres. This site is strictly for advanced divers due to the depth and potential for strong currents. Visibility varies between 10 and 30 metres. Water temperatures are cool, ranging from 14 to 17 degrees Celsius, necessitating a drysuit or a minimum 7mm wetsuit. Boat access is required, and divers should monitor their proximity to the reef. Species recorded around this area include wrasses, bream, scorpionfish, and various Mediterranean invertebrates.

Given the depth and the risk of stronger-than-usual currents, diving with a guide familiar with the site is strongly advisable rather than treating the guided tour option as optional. Pack a drysuit or a minimum 7mm wetsuit because 14 degrees at 50-plus metres drains heat faster than shallower profiles at the same temperature.
