Caprera cove dive with boulders, clear water, and boat access.
Caprera cove dive with boulders, clear water, and boat access.
Cala Inglese is a Caprera boat dive built around granite boulders, a photogenic landmark rock, and a route that quickly opens from sheltered cove water into more exposed structure. The site rewards divers who like terrain and fish life more than coral, with clear water, weak drift, and steady schooling action around the boulder line. It works best as an unhurried boat dive with tidy buoyancy and comfortable open-water navigation.
