L’Ancora

One of the underwater sites that tells the story, in fact it is possible to see underwater the weights that were used in medieval times to moor boats leaving for the holy land. The almost perfectly round shape with a hole in the center recalls the shape of the millstones used in stone mills

It takes its name from the watchtower located high on the side towards Polignano a Mare. This cove is the natural continuation of the blade that comes from inland for several kilometers.

Dive carried out off the wall located south of Cala Incina. Colorful and bright, it takes place along the extreme tongue of rock that flows offshore.

Dive that develops from a depth of -10 m to approximately -20 m; you start from the shallowest part to descend towards the end of the gully about 70 meters long, which opens onto the sand. The return can be done either on the other side of the gully, or return to the Taglio delle Aragostelle, depending on air consumption.

Dive on the right wall of Port’alga, depth from 12 to 22 meters with wall and pinnacles rising from the seabed, present with cannabine axins which make this site characteristic. Interesting dive even at night.
