Faro Cala Gat

About this dive site

This dive site is located at the foot of the lighthouse at Cala Gat, offering a unique mountainous underwater landscape with often excellent visibility. Navigating the site involves exploring the large boulders along the edge of the reef, which features an indentation towards the lighthouse, also known as Barracuda Bay. The site is part of a nature reserve, contributing to its pristine condition and diverse marine life.

The diverse marine life includes large schools of fish, attracted to the reef's structure and abundance of food. You can expect to see various fish species, possibly including those commonly found in the Mediterranean Sea. The rocky landscape also provides habitats for smaller invertebrates and crustaceans. The specific species present might vary with the season and water conditions.

The best time to visit is likely during the warmer months (spring, summer, and early autumn) when water temperatures are more comfortable and visibility is typically better. However, conditions can be variable, so checking weather forecasts and sea conditions before diving is advisable. For both divers and freedivers, remember to maintain a safe distance from the reef structure to avoid damage, and always dive within your limits, paying attention to any changes in water currents.
