Ile de Forana - Nord Ouest
Protected Area
Area marina protetta Capotesta - Punta Falcone
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) - Ile de Forana - Nord Ouest offers some of Sardinia's richest diving. Water ranges 14-27°C, warmest July, August, September.
Forana's northwest side is a relaxed drift, perfect for getting back into the swing of things or for newer divers. The reef here only drops to around 13 metres, meaning plenty of bottom time and sunlight filtering through the water. We’ve found groups of ornate wrasse flitting between the rocks and occasionally a curious octopus peering from a crevice. It’s a gentle introduction to Sardinia’s underwater world, easy to navigate and generally free of strong currents.
