About Grotta dei Cervi
Grotta dei Cervi is a submerged limestone cave in the Capo Caccia area of Alghero, known for its prehistoric fossil deposit and concealed underwater route. Divers enter through a hidden opening and follow tunnel-like passages into inner chambers and an air pocket where the fossil remains sit. It is a protected overhead dive for experienced divers who are comfortable with route-finding, limited exits, and cave-style buoyancy control.
