This dive site, Grotte du Semaphoro, offers a diverse underwater experience accessible by boat. The dive begins in shallow waters where you can explore the seabed, searching for octopuses and other small creatures before moving towards a dramatic drop-off. A fascinating tunnel is integrated into the rock face, offering a unique swim-through opportunity with a beautiful view of the blue outside. The depth varies, allowing for dives suited to different experience levels.
Marine life is abundant at Grotte du Semaphoro. Divers can expect to encounter a variety of fish, including dentex, moray eels, and grouper. The shallows are also home to a rich array of smaller invertebrates and fish. The drop-off creates a habitat for larger pelagic species to patrol, and the tunnel may shelter shy critters.
The best time to visit Grotte du Semaphoro is during the warmer months (summer and early autumn) when visibility is typically at its best and the water is warmer. For freedivers, the shallow areas offer plenty of opportunity for exploring, and the lack of strong currents is ideal for breath-hold dives. Divers should always remember to check the weather conditions before embarking on a dive and make sure to consult local dive shops for daily conditions at this particular site.
