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) - Galera offers some of Sardinia's richest diving. Water ranges 14-27°C, warmest July, August, September.
Galera, off the Sardinian coast, offers a straightforward dive over a rocky seabed. You'll find plenty of smaller Mediterranean species here: moray eels peeking from crevices, octopus lurking in the rocks, and schools of damselfish flitting past. It’s a good choice for newer divers looking for a relaxed exploration without strong currents.
