Dive-site story
Situated off the northeast coast of Sardinia near the island of Mortorio, Scogli di Mortoriotto consists of dramatic granite rock formations plunging into clear open water. Divers navigate granite gullies, vertical drop-offs, and large boulders encrusted with red sea fans. The exposed offshore position invites pelagic fish passing through the currents, alongside territorial predators sheltered among the rocky fissures.
Steep granite walls covered in healthy red and yellow gorgonian sea fans
Schools of Mediterranean barracuda and hunting amberjacks hovering in blue water
Rocky crevices harboring dusky groupers, octopus, and large moray eels
