Kampanil Mali
Kampanil Mali (the Small Bell) is a bell-shaped shoal next to its bigger namesake off Funtana. The western side is a wall with fissures and small caves, home to a very large conger eel and lobsters, while the top is flat with sandy hollows. Seaweed, sponges and corals cover the rock. It is the shoal furthest from land and can be circled in one dive.
