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) - Les aiguilles de la Vacca offers some of Sardinia's richest pinnacle diving. Water ranges 14-27°C, warmest July, August, September.
Les Aiguilles de la Vacca, or "The Needles of the Cow," gives you exactly what the name implies: a series of rock pinnacles rising from the seabed, just off Sardinia's coast. At a gentle 19 meters, it's a calm introduction to Mediterranean diving, perfect for those still building confidence. We usually spot plenty of damselfish darting between the rocks, along with the occasional moray eel peering out from a crevice. It's a relaxed, easy dive, a good spot to get your fins wet and enjoy some classic Sardinian underwater scenery without any strong currents to worry about.
