Dive-site story
Located along the towering limestone cliffs of Capo Caccia, Falco Cave is a prominent sea cavern system featuring extensive chambers, karst formations, and air pockets. Sunlight filters through the wide entrance arch, illuminating rocky vaults decorated with red coral and encrusting sponges before leading into darker internal galleries where subterranean stalactites and silt bottoms demand refined finning techniques.
Vast limestone cavern chambers with submerged stalactites and stalagmites
Expansive entrance arch allowing light rays to illuminate cavern vaults
Red coral colonies and encrusting bryozoans coating vertical walls
Deep crevices harboring shy Mediterranean crustaceans and morays
