OMEGA
Protected Area
Tavolara - Punta Coda Cavallo
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) - OMEGA offers some of Sardinia's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 14-27°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Omega wreck off Tavolara Island is a good dive for those who appreciate history and artificial reefs. This motor vessel, sunk in 1974 after striking rocks in rough seas, now rests at 20 meters, broken but still largely recognisable. We’ve found moray eels tucked into the engine room and large schools of damselfish flitting through the superstructure. It's a fairly straightforward dive, no strong currents usually, making it a solid choice for divers comfortable with wrecks but not looking for anything too challenging.
