The caves of Palinuro |
|
Submerged hollow |
The calcareous spur of Capo Palinuro stretches out him to manner of leg of animal in the sea southern Tyrrhenian.
The imposing walls to precipice continue under the surface until to a batimetric of around 50 meters. |
|
Grotta Azzurra |
 It's
the most known and partially visited by the
boats. It crosses the Point of the Quail
with an underwater run of around 90 meters with
3000 square meters submerged area.
The
cave is a real laboratory of
biology with the walls populated from
an unbelievable variety of animal kind that gives
the possibility to the scuba diver naturalist of
to recognize the various organisms. You/he/she can be noticed her/it
competition for the territory among the orange ones
carpets of astroides and those yellow of the
daisy wheel of sea (Parazoanthus sp.)
,
forms of life that seem vegetable but they belong to the animal kingdom, as often happens in aquatic environment. The snails of sea and the flat worms, longer than some centimeter,
 with their garish colors they resemble to small stains that slowly stir; among the most common representatives the violet Flabellina, the snail leopard to brown spots on white background and the variegated Prostecereo. |

Grotta
sulfurea di Calafetente |
 The
emerged hollow is visitable afoot. Going down
from the boat, he easily enters the practicable
cave, up to one of the two inside lakes, along
60 meters around. The air of the lake is nearly
breathable, nevertheless the diffusion of toxic
gas in the inside and side burrows makes the
exploration of the cave insidious.  The
cave sulfurea, an enormous structure, complex,
and above all to the presence of the most
greater rising sulfurea of the zone, that is the
most important of Capo Palinuro together with
the blue cave.
It represents the most evident demonstration of
the phenomenon of the waters sulfuree of Head
Palinuro. And' a very dangerous cave for the
scuba diver, that is not inserted in the group
by to visit for the presence of toxic gas in the
beads, for the scarce visibility and for the
complexity of the run.
Touch, sense of smell and sight also allow the
not scuba diver to become himselfselves account
of the phenomenon. We are of forehead to an
impetuous stream of white waters and the mind it
crosses to bashful their walk in the depths of
our planet. There is afoot also a practicable
zone that it conducts to a suggestive inside
lake where crystals of sulphur are recognized. |

Grotta del
Presepe |
 It's
the least deep one and the richest of
concretions of the Head. With a light source I
mediate small, it owes the name to the numerous
stalagmites of the second room that you
partially illuminate, they remember the
statuettes of a manger. The imagination of each
 can
freely interpret every concretion as the beehive
or the candle. Characteristics the bent columns
that depart from the ceiling in underwater
environment finishing under the water and the
eccentric ones that sideways grow challenging
the gravity. The cave of the manger is him to
consider a small jewel of the nature. |
