About LA CATTEDRALE
La Cattedrale is a boat dive below a dramatic cliff in the Leuca area, built around two short canyons and a field of mushroom-shaped boulders. The route feels compact and visual rather than long or technical: you move under the overhang, along coloured rock and through broken blocks that shelter the small life. It suits divers who want an easygoing guided dive with clear landmarks and a good chance of moray eels, bream, and small lobsters.
