Cala della Bramassa with its flat bottom, convenient for carrying out exercises, is a suitable place to carry out the open waters of beginner courses (Try Scuba and Basic diver). Swimming offshore it reaches 18 mt. Also suitable as a snorkeling spot as it is sheltered from winds and the sea is almost always flat.

One of the most popular dives in the area given its beauty and simplicity, and with an average depth of 12 mt it is truly accessible to all levels. Numerous arches and walls full of life are present; the dive culminates with entry into a large cave at a depth of 8 mt only. Beautiful and fun.

This cave formerly must have been a watercourse, which is evident from its smooth, eroded walls. Very old stalactites, now submerged, are present in the vaults and just after the entrance at 7 meters you can see the demarcatingline at the old sea level and a column stalactite of considerable size, see photo.

Another top site in the area is Grotta dei Fantasmi, the ghost cave. The entrance is only 7 meters but the dive is only a few tens of cm from the surface, present several air bubbles and tunnels. Completely of white limestone rock it is reminiscent, in part because of the excellent visibility, of cenotes in Central America.

Certainly the most important site from a historical point of view, the Grotta dei Cervi (Cave of the Deer), discovered in 1986, presents fossil remains, now calcified in the rock, dating back to the Neolithic period. One can admire various mandibles, bones from different parts of the body, and a skull

Cala del Bollo (Bollo’s Cove) takes its name from the Aragonese tower above it, the Bollo Tower. Dive spot suitable for beginners, open water courses and beautiful spot for snorkeling. Given its shallow depth already from the surface it is possible to see octopuses, moray eels and starfish.
