Capo Figari is a boat cave-and-passage dive in Golfo Aranci.
This is normally run as a guided boat dive from Golfo Aranci.
Capo Figari is a compact boat dive on Sardinia's Golfo Aranci coast, where granite boulders, passages, and cave pockets create a more adventurous route than an open reef. The site is easy to plan as a guided day boat because the best dives here are slow, buoyancy-heavy circuits that focus on rock scenery, shaded life, and coralligenous zones rather than depth or drift.

Site Conditions
Safety Notes
Keep buoyancy tight in the passages, stay with the guide, and pick a calm boat day so the route stays easy to read.
Access Restrictions
Boat access only; treat passages and cave pockets as overhead terrain and follow the local briefing for the promontory zone.
Legal Notes
Capo Figari sits in a protected Natura 2000 / SIC area, so local briefing and site-specific operating rules matter.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Best as a guided dive for divers comfortable with rock structure and overhead features. The appeal is a slow pass through granite boulders, cave mouths, and shaded coraline growth.
Freediving
Freediving is only a fit in very calm conditions and on the simpler rock edges; the cave and passage sections are better left to scuba.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling is secondary here. The site is primarily a scuba objective because the strongest scenery sits on the rock face and inside the passages.
