Dive-site story
Set within a sheltered rocky cove south of Polignano a Mare, Porto Alga provides an easy entry into the Adriatic coastal waters. Limestone overhangs give way to extensive Posidonia seagrass meadows, interspersed with patches of coarse sand and rubble. Rocky crevices shelter small Mediterranean critters, making the bay a favored spot for relaxed exploration and night diving.
Rugged limestone drop-offs and undercut ledges along the cove edges
Expansive Posidonia oceanica seagrass beds harboring juvenile fish
Sheltered conditions suitable for training and relaxed navigation
Night dives revealing active cephalopods and crustaceans
Location
Use the map to plan with your operator and confirm the exact entry point on the day.
Seasonality
Late spring through autumn brings warmer sea temperatures and calmer Adriatic weather.
