This dive site, La Calzada, consists of two parallel rocky bars, with depths ranging from 15 to 23 meters, creating a unique underwater landscape. The flat area between the bars, covered in posidonia meadow, is believed by some to be the remains of an ancient Roman road, giving the dive site its name. Navigation is straightforward, following the rocky bars and exploring the posidonia meadow in between.
Marine life is abundant and varied. Divers can expect to encounter groupers, lobsters, morays, and barracudas. The posidonia meadow provides habitat for numerous smaller invertebrates and fish.
The best time to visit is during the summer months of July and August, when visibility is typically at its best, and many of the larger fish are more active. The relatively shallow depth makes it suitable for both scuba diving and freediving, though it's recommended to check the current conditions before entering the water. Remember to maintain a respectful distance from marine life and avoid touching or disturbing the posidonia meadow.
