Grotta Delle Corvine, Porto Selvaggio

Grotta Delle Corvine is a sheltered, rocky cave dive at Porto Selvaggio, set along the Apulian coast. The site features a narrow entry into a grotto with an intriguing overhang and a shallow opening that drops into a deeper tunnel. Divers typically enter from a small cove and follow a gently sloping floor into the cave system, observing several limestone formations and soft corals in the ambient current. Visibility is generally good in calm seas, with conditions suited to intermediate cave navigation and careful buoyancy control. The area around Porto Selvaggio hosts a mix of Mediterranean fauna, including wrasses, damselfish, octopus, and writhing eels along the rocky substrates. As with many coastal grotto sites, maintain awareness of surge and avoid over-stressing the delicate cave environment. Nearby towns such as Nardò, Galatone, and Gallipoli provide access and services for visiting divers.
