The Costa degli Dei, which extends from Pizzo Calabro to Nicotera, is an authentic paradise for sea lovers. Its transparent waters, from turquoise to intense blue, preserve seabeds rich in life and colours, ideal for snorkelling and diving. Zambrone, Tropea, Capo Vaticano and Briatico are just some of the places to immerse yourself in spectacular marine scenery.
Snorkeling among fish and posidonia meadows
Snorkeling is the easiest way to get closer to the wonders of the Calabrian sea. Equipped with a mask, snorkel and fins, it is possible to swim along the cliffs and admire schools of colorful fish, sea urchins, starfish and octopuses hidden among the rocks. Posidonia meadows, a fundamental plant for the marine ecosystem, are home to a surprising biodiversity that makes each excursion unique.
Diving for experienced and beginner divers
For those who want a deeper experience, the Costa degli Dei offers numerous diving spots suitable for all levels. The rocky bottoms and hidden shallows are home to groupers, moray eels, lobsters and even submerged wrecks that tell stories of the past. Many diving centers in the area organize guided outings, courses and sea baptisms, also ideal for those approaching the underwater world for the first time.
The unmissable places
Among the most evocative points for diving and snorkeling stand out:
– Zambrone – Scoglio del Leone: a small rocky promontory that slopes gently towards seabeds rich in life.
– Capo Vaticano: famous for its submerged walls and caves full of plays of light.
– Tropea: with seabeds alternating white sand and rocks populated by tropical fish.
Each dive offers different emotions, thanks to the variety of environments and marine species present.
