About Cala Paura (Parete Sud)
Cala Paura (Parete Sud) is a sheltered shore dive on the south side of Polignano a Mare's Cala Paura cove, where a limestone wall drops away from the entry and small sea caves break up the rock face. The site suits calm-water exploration of the wall, crevices, and overhead pockets, with sponges, anemones, and tucked-in marine life giving the dive its character. Divers without overhead training should stay in the open wall sections.

Scuba Diving
A compact shore dive on a shallow limestone wall with optional cave crossings for divers with the right overhead training.
Freediving
The sheltered cove and shallow wall edge may suit short breath-hold sessions in calm water, but the cave passages are not suitable for casual freediving.
