La Marinella

La Marinella is an advanced dive site on Calabria's southern coast, where a rocky reef system drops into deep blue water along the Ionian shoreline. The site features impressive underwater rock formations with walls adorned in Mediterranean gorgonians, large sponges, and colonies of golden cup coral. Grouper patrol their territories among the boulders, while moray eels and lobsters occupy the deeper crevices. Currents can be moderate to strong, carrying nutrients that sustain vibrant marine life. A rewarding dive for experienced divers exploring Calabria's less-traveled underwater realm.
