Dive-site story
Located off northern Sardinia near Costa Paradiso, Rocca Ruja is characterized by dramatic red granite bedrock that slopes down toward the open seabed. The fractured terrain creates shaded overhangs, swim-through arches, and narrow fissures where Mediterranean marine life gathers away from ambient light.
Vivid red granite rock formations and underwater arches
Pockets of red coral sheltered inside deep fissures and ceiling shadows
Lobsters and moray eels occupying narrow granite crevices
