About Cala del Bollo

Cala del Bollo is a sheltered cove in Porto Conte with a shallow profile that suits easy shore dives and relaxed snorkel sessions. The route is more about slow cruising through seagrass and bay structure than chasing depth, with resident fish inside the cove and larger fish farther out. It is best planned as a calm-day outing, because the site sits in a protected bay and conditions matter more than ambition.
