Fiordino is a Caprera boulder dive with a quick drop.
Fiordino is a Caprera boat dive with a shallow anchorage in front of the fjord and a rapid drop into a granite boulder field. The route feels more like an underwater moonscape than a coral reef, with cubic blocks, crevices, and sheltered pockets that hold octopus, groupers, snappers, morays, and other small life. It suits divers who are comfortable with quick depth changes, buoyancy control, and a guided boat descent.

Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Boat-accessed Caprera dive with a shallow start, rapid drop to 40 m, and rocky terrain that rewards buoyancy and route awareness.
Freediving
The shallow anchorage may suit brief surface exploration, but the quick drop makes scuba the better fit.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling is possible at the start, but the dive's signature terrain sits well below the shallow anchorage.
