Cala d'Oliva - Sardinia

Cala d'Oliva gives you a good feel for Sardinia’s quieter side of diving. We've often found schooling salema here, shimmering off the rocks, and it's a spot where you might just catch a glimpse of a loggerhead turtle cruising past. Keep an eye out for patches of red coral and bushy coral clinging to the deeper walls. It’s a solid dive for those who appreciate the subtle beauty of the Mediterranean, maybe not a drift full of barracuda, but reliably pleasant, especially if you’re keen to escape the busier spots further south.
