    StandoutRich in charismatic marine life

    Les Arches offers a neat cave experience in Sardinia, reaching about 20m. We found the swim-throughs straightforward, suitable for intermediate divers comfortable in overhead environments. Look for the shafts of light piercing the rock, illuminating small groupers and moray eels. It’s a good option if you want a taste of cave diving without anything too demanding.
