On the waterThe coast between Anzio and Nettuno is laid out by level — easy ground near the harbours, then the deeper, more serious water out beyond the tower at Astura, where the sea has taken the Roman shoreline back.
The shallow sites welcome newer divers; Costacuti and Astura are not the place to find out how you handle depth.
Anzio at its real position from Rome, with everywhere else we list behind it — so you can see how far out this one is.
