About Grotta del Cabirol
A boat-access cave dive in the Capo Caccia area of Alghero, known for a two-level opening below the Cabirol staircase and for the way afternoon light cuts through the limestone. The route combines a wall with cracks and ledges, then an overhead cavern that rewards careful buoyancy and a settled sea window. It is a memorable cave outing rather than a deep wall dive.
