So fühlt es sich an

Alghero and Capo Caccia deliver the destination's signature scuba: limestone walls, natural arches, red coral, gorgonians and a deep catalog of cavern and cave routes. Grotta di Nereo is the headline, but open-water choices such as Isola Foradada Punta Timone let mixed-experience teams stay outside a ceiling. Stintino and the Gulf of Asinara add granite reef, canyon and Posidonia scenery, including Secca dell'Ammiraglio, while park-authorized centers run designated Asinara sites. The best trip is local and boat based. Bring proof of certification, expect the guide to substitute sites for wind, and never treat cave reputation as permission. Current Capo Caccia rules require specific authorization and qualifications, and Asinara diving follows its official site table and authorized-operator system.

Planungsleitfaden

Checkliste für Anbieter

Book at least two water days if a particular Capo Caccia site matters. Send the center certification cards, recent experience, logged overhead dives and equipment needs before arrival. Guided clients should ask whether all MPA permissions are included; private divers must obtain the applicable authorization themselves. For private diving, the 2026 rule requires at least a second-level certification and caps each dive at 4 scuba divers. Open-water guided visits allow up to 6 divers per guide, 2 guides and 12 divers per dive; guided cave ratios and site caps are tighter. Night scuba is prohibited. For Asinara, choose a center listed by the park for the current season and confirm departure port, ferry dependency, lunch, cylinders and return contingency. Nitrox, twinset, sidemount and cave equipment should be reserved rather than assumed.
