Easy Alghero shore dive for training and snorkeling
Cala Verde is a calm Alghero shore dive with a gentle slope and easy entry. It works well for Open Water practice, try-dive sessions, compass work, freediving, and snorkeling, and the shallow water usually holds octopus, moray eels, barracuda, and mixed fish over a simple rocky bottom. On calm days, it is a practical place for relaxed skills work because the entry is straightforward and the site stays shallow and easy to read.
