CALA GALERA
The impressive landslide
The dive begins in the bay just right of the strip of land, where the water is 3 m deep. Heading towards the tip, you will arrive to a depth of 8 m, and from there you will continue to head south- east to where the vertical wall drops to a depth of about 12 m. At the base of the wall, the seabed is rocky and abruptly plunges to a depth of 30 m, where it becomes more flat, and the rocks give way to a sandy substrate that slopes down to 50 m. At a depth of approximately 30 m, the landslide is interrupted by a number of passageways and arches. From here, it is time to turn and head back to the starting point.
