    StandoutRich in charismatic marine life

    Le rocher de la Vacca Nord is a good spot for easing into the Sardinian dive scene. Dropping down to a maximum of 17 meters, it’s tailor-made for beginners or those just looking for a relaxed bimble. We often find juvenile barracuda hanging around the rocky outcrops, and the nooks always seem to shelter some octopus or moray eels. It’s a gentle introduction to the local Mediterranean reef life, straightforward and pleasant.
