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) - Cala Mariolu offers some of Sardinia's richest diving. Water ranges 14-27°C, warmest July, August, September.
Cala Mariolu, nestled on Sardinia's eastern coast, offers divers a quintessential Mediterranean experience. The clear water here gives way to rock formations and small caves, where we’ve spotted mauve stingers drifting by. Look closely in the crevices and you might just catch a glimpse of a soft brittlestar. It's a relaxed dive, ideal for those who appreciate exploring the smaller details of the reef and a calm swim-through.
