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) - COMTE DE FIANDEE offers some of Sardinia's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 14-27°C, warmest July, August, September.
The *Comte de Flandre*, a Belgian cargo ship, met its end in 1943 off the coast of Sardinia. We love how accessible this wreck is, sitting upright at a comfortable 20 metres. It’s perfect for those looking to get their first taste of a proper wreck dive without pushing deep or battling strong currents. Dropping down, the ship really comes into view: stern section largely intact, bow broken. You can fin along the deck, peering into cargo holds now home to schools of small fish. We often spot moray eels tucked into crevices, their heads poking out with that characteristic grumpy stare. The metal structure, softened by years underwater, is coated in colourful sponges and small anemones. Visibility here is usually good, letting you appreciate the scale of the wreck, a silent sentinel on the sandy bottom. Go early to avoid other boats and enjoy the quiet.
