Shore-access rocky canyon dive with Mediterranean life
Shore-access rocky canyon dive with Mediterranean life
Torrazzo, Caminia is a shore-access rocky dive on the Ionian coast, where you follow an overhanging cliff and canyon-like passage beside the bay. The route is short, shallow, and training-friendly, but it still feels like a real coastal exploration because the rocks rise and fall around you as you move between the wall, the canyon, and the natural formations. It is best treated as a calm-water open-water training dive with classic Calabria scenery and plenty of small Mediterranean life.
