A stunning, uncrowded island, with a remarkable coastline, scuba diving in the underwater world of Sardinia is not to be missed.
Whether you are a seasoned diver or just trying it out, Sardinia offers a wide choice of impeccable dive sites.
Why choose Sardinia for your diving holiday?
Sardinia is one huge dive resort, a playground for scuba divers, some might say! Each stretch of coastline is rich in underwater treasures, where you could explore everything from shipwrecks dating back to the Second World War, underwater caves and the famous ‘racing’ bluefin tuna. Thanks to the delightfully warm waters during the summer months, it is the perfect way to spend a week in the Mediterranean! Here are a few top dive sites not to miss...
Grotto dei Cervi – Alghero
A cave famous for fascinating fossils can also be explored by beginners from its exterior, due to its shallow depth on approach and crystal-clear waters, it offers all divers an exciting experience.
Stay at: Hotel Calabona. A charming four-star hotel just a short stroll from the town centre. There are several dive centres in the region to bring your diving itinerary to life! There is plenty to see and do when you are not exploring the underwater world!
