Nereus is the son of two primordial Gods of Greek mythology: Pontus, God of the Ocean and Gea, Goddess of the Earth, his name in ancient Greek derives from the word "swimmer". Nereus is the God of the calm sea and according to mythology he lives in a cave at the bottom of the sea. Capable of transforming himself and always being surprising, he married the Oceanina Doris from whom he had, in addition to the other 49 Nereids, Amphitrite. The Nereo cave is exactly like this: never the same, it is possible to do at least 5 different dives while remaining fascinated by a new spectacle each time.
Its multiple entrances at different altitudes, its immense tunnels, the rooms of which it seems like you can't see the end, are every time a new emotion for the diver who visits this cave. Discovered in 1957 by those who were the first to dive into these waters: Claudio Ripa, Ennio Falco, Alberto Novelli and finally Mario Musu, it was very rich in red coral which is still visible today on the walls of the cave; it was named Nereo Cave because of all the caves it was the largest and most majestic at the time, today it is the largest among those known in the Mediterranean, a destination for divers from all over the globe and is considered one of the seven wonders of the underwater world. With its system of tunnels, this place is a paradise for the eyes and the heart; large groupers, conger eels, lobsters together with red coral and nudibranchs, the cave represents the place with the greatest variety of underwater life in the area. His outings on the southern side offer an unparalleled spectacle. Observing the Capo Caccia massif from afar, approaching from the east, you will seem to see a giant dozing and resting, perhaps it is our own Nereus, a giant with a good heart, and through his placid heart, we want to lead you to discover the its wonders.
