Dive-site story
Located right below the historic cliffside villa on the Capo Galera headland near Alghero, this sheltered house reef provides straightforward shore diving. Rocky limestone shelves drop toward patches of coarse sand and expansive Posidonia seagrass meadows, offering an ideal setting for checkout dives, training, and relaxed night excursions. Small crevices, rock ledges, and coastal boulders give shelter to Mediterranean macro fauna while schooling fish patrol the open water slightly farther off the point.
Accessible entry via the dive center's coastal platform and steps
Rich macro life hidden among Posidonia oceanica seagrass beds
Sheltered cove conditions suitable for night diving and training
