In this part of the Isola dei Cavoli we find the "Roman Ship". It takes its name from a granite rock similar to the bow of a ship. The site slopes rapidly into a very varied landscape of large boulders. Numerous routes are possible both in shallow depths and up to 40 m. In a very bright environment the rocks are covered by a thick felt of algae of the Cystoseira genus: salps, mullets, damsels, thrushes and other small fish graze on it.

In this part of the Isola dei Cavoli we find the "Roman Ship". It takes its name from a granite rock similar to the bow of a ship. The site slopes rapidly into a very varied landscape of large boulders. Numerous routes are possible both in shallow depths and up to 40 m. In a very bright environment the rocks are covered by a thick felt of algae of the Cystoseira genus: salps, mullets, damsels, thrushes and other small fish graze on it. Large groupers, sea bream and barracuda. In the ravines, thick swarms of croakers sometimes also host some red grouper. On the rocks you can encounter large colonies of madrepores (Cladocora caespitosa). As the depth increases and in the less exposed areas, the algae give way to environments where invertebrates prevail: sponges, sea daisies, bryozoans, eunicella and paramuricea.
