Motore dei Monaci - Sardinia

Motore dei Monaci offers a straightforward dive to 22 metres, suitable for newer divers. The main attraction is an old engine block, now home to a scatter of scorpionfish and nudibranchs. It’s a gentle introduction to the Sardinian underwater world, often with decent visibility. We’d suggest it for a relaxed second dive or for divers getting comfortable in open water.
