Grotta di Mitigliano

Only for few divers… This cavern, sited on the north wall in the bay of Mitigliano (from the latin “Metellianus”, another roman lord) is about 80 m long, with a maximum depth of 15 m. The sand on the bottom is thick, so usually divers do not cause suspension problems. After the first 20 m, there is a vertical pit, with a breathable air hall. Going on into the cave, after a narrow passage, about 20 m long, there are two more halls, and another bubble of breathable air. Here, due to a natural water source, the sea water is practically fresh, and very chilly. In this strange environment live a very rare dark lover fish, similar to the inhabitants of abyss, called Oligopus ater
