Punta Galera & Grotta dei Gamberi

Punta Galera & Grotta dei Gamberi is an advanced two-in-one dive at Ustica island, combining a dramatic volcanic point with an atmospheric cave inhabited by red shrimp. The rocky promontory descends through a rich wall of gorgonians and sponges before divers enter the cave where lobsters and shrimp crowd the dim interior. Outside, the Ustica marine reserve's prolific fish life — grouper, barracuda, and swirling schools of anthias — creates a constant spectacle. This site perfectly encapsulates Ustica's dual appeal of outstanding cave diving and world-class Mediterranean reef ecosystems.
