About Cala dei Santi
Cala dei Santi is a sheltered Monte Argentario cove dive where the boat anchors near a historic sea cave and the route runs along rocky walls and Posidonia meadows. It is known for clear Mediterranean water, yellow and red gorgonians, red coral, moray eels, octopus, and barracuda schools, plus a surface cave that adds a strong sense of place. It works best as a calm boat day with a local guide and is especially appealing for photographers, snorkelers, and easygoing scuba divers.
