In our beautiful Puglia, one of the most popular dive sites is the Cala Incina Tower, about 3 miles south of Polignano a Mare. The site of a marble statue of the Madonna in a cave 14 meters below the surface of the sea, has made this site very popular among divers. The statue was placed in the 1980s by the initiative of a group of divers from Bari. Our Lady is in a standing position, with arms outstretched in a welcoming gesture and looking downward. It is a custom to leave a rosary beads on the statue. The more experienced divers can go further down, reaching another cave that is open at two points; it offers a spectacular play of lights. The wire-guided trail ends at a depth of 18 meters. The flora and fauna vary in different periods of the year. From November to April you can observe anglerfish, bright nudibranchs and beautiful flabellina. The bay of Cala Incina is a true natural pool in the open waters that lends itself as the ideal spot for the many diving schools in the area.
