About this dive site
This dive site, Anfiteatro, offers a fascinating underwater landscape characterized by a wall punctuated with numerous cavities extending up to 3 meters into the rock face. A unique feature is a submersible tunnel that arcs from 18 meters to 12 meters, creating an intriguing passage for divers to explore. The sandy areas in front of the reef provide excellent habitats for diverse marine life, adding another dimension to this diverse site.
The marine life at Anfiteatro is rich and varied. Rays, schools of sea bream, and colorful gorgonians grace the sandy areas, while large groupers, trumpet fish, and well-camouflaged scorpion fish find refuge among the sponge-covered rocks. Barracudas and bonitos patrol the open water, offering exciting encounters for divers. The wall itself is likely home to a range of smaller invertebrates and corals, adding to the site's biodiversity.
The best time to visit Anfiteatro is likely during the warmer months, from late spring to early autumn, when water temperatures are more pleasant and visibility is generally better. Divers should be aware of the tunnel's depth and plan their dive accordingly, paying attention to air supply and decompression stops. Freediving may be suitable for experienced practitioners, focusing on shallower sections to maintain safety. It is always recommended to dive with a local guide to fully appreciate the features and beauty of this location.
