Shallow cave-and-wall dive at Pozzo in Capo Caccia
Shallow cave-and-wall dive at Pozzo in Capo Caccia
A local guide is required, and the cave sits inside a managed protected area.
Pozzo Cave is a shallow Capo Caccia cave dive where the fun starts on a small pinnacle and continues along a wall into a limestone chamber. The route is simple but memorable, with a slow exit that throws bubble light through the rock and a marine cast of conger eels, octopus, lobsters, grouper, nudibranchs, and barracuda. It is best done with a guide in the managed park window, when boat conditions are calm and the cave can be enjoyed without rushing.

Legal Notes
Follow the managed park rules for the Capo Caccia - Isola Piana area and treat the cave as an authorized guided dive.

Scuba Diving
Start on the shallow pinnacle, follow the wall into the cave, and exit on a slow ascent where the limestone shape creates the champagne effect.
Freediving
Not a freedive-first site; the overhead section and guide requirement make this a scuba dive.
Snorkeling
Not a snorkel site; the cave route is built around scuba control and a guided overhead section.
