About Il delfino
Il delfino is a sheltered Alghero dive site built around a life-size dolphin statue on a concrete base and the two surrounding walls. The site is valued for its red coral, marine growth, and mixed Mediterranean wall life, while the mistral shelter makes it a practical choice when the weather turns less stable. It is a classic Sardinian rock-and-wall dive rather than a cavern or deep-technical profile, and the difficult entry is part of why local dive-center support matters.
