Dive-site story
Situated along the karst limestone cliffs of the Capo Caccia marine protected area, The Dolmen is characterized by massive natural rock slabs resembling megalithic structures. Divers follow dramatic overhangs and swim-throughs illuminated by shafts of sunlight piercing the crystal Mediterranean water. The surrounding rocky seabed drops into deeper boulders where territorial marine species establish shelter among crevices and red coral encrustations.
Monumental megalithic-style limestone formations creating natural archways and caverns
Excellent light effects filtering down through overhead fissures
Encounters with large dusky groupers and patrolling schools of barracuda along the wall
