Le Vasche di Cassiodoro

Le Vasche di Cassiodoro is a unique beginner dive along Calabria's Ionian coast near Squillace, where ancient Roman fish tanks attributed to the scholar Cassiodorus lie partially submerged in the shallows. These archaeological remains create fascinating artificial structures now colonized by sponges, anemones, and small fish. The shallow depth and calm conditions allow extended exploration of these historical relics while observing Mediterranean marine life. A rare dive combining late Roman archaeology with gentle coastal diving, perfect for history-loving divers of all certification levels.
