Cala dei Turchi

The dive

A dive that runs partly along a wall and partly into a cave. The wall is colourful, with sponges sheltering lobsters, scorpionfish, moray and conger eels, and deeper down yellow gorgonians and nudibranchs.

The dive goes to -36 m: watch for depth creep, narcosis and deco, and ask the guide how deep the cave itself lies.
Profile and sections

A dive that runs partly along a wall and partly into a cave. The wall is colourful, with sponges sheltering lobsters, scorpionfish, moray and conger eels, and deeper down yellow gorgonians and nudibranchs. The cave is L-shaped, with lobsters and dusky groupers.

Practical: the AMP rates the dive medium. Tremiti Diving Center on San Domino and the diving centre of the Cala del Principe resort at Torre Mileto, on the Gargano coast, offer it.

This is how the planner decides who in your team may dive this cave. Rules your own trip adds (organizer, a mail, the AI) show with your trip.

How to get there

North side of Caprara (uninhabited), by the beach of the same name; by boat with an authorised dive centre. Caprara's outer coast is partly zone B: diving there needs the park's authorisation, which the centre arranges. Cave dives guided only, with a guide of at least Dive Master level, max 4 divers per guide and max 2 dives per day in this cave.
