About Corallo Nero
Corallo Nero is a deep Sardinian secca off Santa Teresa Gallura, made of two large rocks split by a narrow sandy strip and covered with red gorgonians, black coral, and a thick fringe of Mediterranean life. The dive is a classic deep-reef outing for certified divers who want color, structure, and a strong sense of place rather than a relaxed shallow profile.
