Dive-site story
Located off the eastern granite cliffs of Caprera Island within the La Maddalena Archipelago National Park, Punta Coticcio offers quintessential northern Sardinian underwater topography. Massive fallen granite monoliths rest on a seabed of white sand and Posidonia oceanica meadows, creating dramatic swim-throughs, fissures, and shadowed overhangs. Due to park protection, marine life is confident, with curious groupers and schools of hunting pelagics frequenting the rocky point.
Monolithic pink granite boulders forming natural tunnels and cavernous arches
Healthy stands of red gorgonians decorating the deeper walls and overhangs
Frequent flybys of pelagic predators schooling off the point in open water
Location

Seasonality
