Caverns Of Capo Sperone is a shoreline cavern dive on the southern Capo Sperone coast, where rocky access leads into three connected cavern sections. The route alternates between enclosed spaces and open water, with a rough natural shoreline and plenty of rock structure around the entry. It suits divers who are comfortable with overhead terrain, careful footing, and conditions that can shift with wind and sea state. Fish and crustaceans are the usual draw inside the shaded sections.
