Cala Rotonda
The itinerary with the two grottoes
The entrance to the first grotto, which is located at a depth of 12 m, is about 10 m wide and 3 m high at its tallest point. It unfolds into two tunnels, which should only be explored by experienced divers. Following the rocky wall, after about 15 m you will come to the second cave, which is longer and narrower, and has a bottom located at a depth of 20 m, which has a siphon outlet on its face. Along the way, you will encounter a prairie of sea grass.
