About this dive site

This dive site, Cala Incina Parete Nord, is a coastal cove located near Polignano a Mare, Italy. It's named after a nearby watchtower and extends from a land blade. The dive itself is relatively straightforward, exploring the rocky walls and caves of the cove. Navigation is simple, with the cove providing natural boundaries, and the shallow depth makes it ideal for beginners. A highlight is the underwater statue of the Virgin Mary situated within one of the caves.

The marine life here is rich and varied. You can expect to see seahorses, rays, bream, and amberjack, amongst other species. The cove also likely holds a variety of smaller invertebrates and crustaceans adding to the diversity of the marine environment. The rocky structures provide a habitat for these creatures and offer interesting photographic opportunities.

The best time to visit Cala Incina Parete Nord is likely during the warmer months (June-September) when visibility is usually best and the water temperature is more pleasant for diving and snorkeling. Divers and freedivers should check local weather conditions and current strength before entering the water. The relatively shallow and calm nature of the dive makes it suitable for beginners and freedivers, but always remember to dive within your limits and maintain buoyancy control, especially when exploring the caves.
