Mérouville - Sardinia
Mérouville sits at a gentle 24m, making it a good choice for newer divers in Sardinia. It’s known for a healthy population of large dusky groupers, which you’ll often find hanging around the rocks. We've also spotted barracuda cruising by, and smaller critters like nudibranchs if you take your time. This site is straightforward, perfect for a relaxed dive without strong currents.
