Grotta di San Francesco - Sardinia

The Grotta di San Francesco offers a cool delve into Sardinia's underwater caves. You'll find yourself drifting through calm, clear water, with the occasional ornate wrasse darting between the rocks. We’ve seen quite a few mauve stingers here too, their delicate bells pulsing through the filtered light. It's a nice easy cave dive, good for those looking to try something different without anything too challenging. Keep an eye out for patches of bushy coral and the subtle glow of red and scarlet corals on the walls.
