About Banco Pomata
Banco Pomata is a boat-access offshore shoal west of Sant'Antioco, with a wreck near the rock and a profile that drops from a shallower top into deeper water. It is a current-prone Sardinian blue-water dive that rewards confident buoyancy, team awareness, and planning for a steeper route than a casual reef outing. On calmer days it can feel expansive and wildlife-rich, but it is still a serious site that should be treated with respect.
