About this dive site
This dive site, Isola Foradada Dolmen, is located off the coast of a small island in Italy. The dive centers around two large dolmens, ancient megalithic structures, rising from a deeper seabed to within 8 meters of the surface. Navigating the dive involves exploring the structures and the surrounding rocky terrain, rich in colorful sponges and corals. The relatively shallow depth makes navigation straightforward, but awareness of potential currents is crucial.
The marine life here is abundant and diverse. Divers can expect to see groupers, barracudas, and snappers regularly. With luck, larger pelagic species like tuna and amberjack may also make an appearance. The rocky structures provide ample habitats for a variety of smaller creatures, enhancing opportunities for macro photography. Sponges and corals add to the visual appeal of this underwater landscape.
The best time to visit Isola Foradada Dolmen is during the warmer months, typically from late spring to early autumn when visibility is generally at its best. Water conditions are calmer during these months, making dives safer and more enjoyable. Strong currents are possible, especially further from the dolmens, so divers and freedivers should check local conditions before diving and maintain appropriate safety measures.
