    Secca di Punta Nera di Osala off Sardinia is a good spot for those looking to explore Mediterranean rock formations. The site offers a series of ledges and small caves, popular with groupers and moray eels tucked into the crevices. It’s a pretty straightforward dive, suitable for divers comfortable with negotiating some tighter spaces and looking for typical local species. We've often found it to be a solid choice when conditions elsewhere are a bit choppy.
