About Faro Cala Gat
Faro Cala Gat is a sheltered shore dive below the Cala Ratjada lighthouse inside a nature reserve. The underwater terrain is rocky and mountainous, with large boulders along the reef edge and an indentation running toward the lighthouse. The site is also known as Barracuda Bay for the schooling fish that gather here. On calmer days, the sheltered bay also works well for relaxed shoreline exploration and easy surface planning around the reef edge.
