SABLAIS - Sardinia
The Sablais wreck, sitting at a comfortable 15 meters, is a really approachable dive in Sardinia. It’s the remains of an old brigantine, and while it's classified as a dangerous wreck, for recreational divers, that just means it's been well and truly broken up by time and the sea. You won't be doing any penetration here, but the scattered timbers make for an interesting landscape, perfect for a leisurely explore. We often find schooling fish weaving through the debris, and it's a good spot for spotting the smaller stuff, like nudibranchs clinging to the ancient wood. It's a great pick for newer wreck divers or anyone looking for a relaxed second dive.
