About this site
Grotta Azzurra sits within Isola di Dino, off Praia a Mare on the Tyrrhenian coast of Calabria, southern Italy. The cave is cut into the island's limestone cliffs and reached by boat from the mainland, its name echoing the better known Blue Grotto of Capri for the way light filters through the water inside. Diving here is shallow, reaching a maximum depth of around 3 metres, making it more of a swim-through snorkel and dive experience than a deep excursion.
