Why dive here
With 74+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, dolphins, mobula rays (devil rays), oceanic whitetip sharks and ocean sunfish (mola mola) - Ancore Spagnole offers some of Sardinia's richest diving.
Ancore Spagnole, or Spanish Anchors, offers a straightforward dive to 23m in Sardinia. We found several large anchors scattered across the seabed, giving the site its name and a bit of historical intrigue. It’s a gentle spot, good for newer divers or those looking for a relaxed bottom time without strong currents. Expect to see some typical Mediterranean reef fish flitting around the sandy patches.
