About Il Grottone
Il Grottone is the Caprara cave dive in the Tavolara park, built around a buoyed boat entry, a bright main chamber, and deeper route options that turn it into a more serious wall-and-cave outing for divers who like variety. The dive feels richest when you move slowly from the entrance into the darker sections and let the rock, light, and fish life build around you.

Local Intel For Il Grottone
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba
Best for certified divers with buoyancy control and comfort using a torch in darker cave sections. The deeper line suits advanced training.
Freedive
Not a casual freedive target because the main route sits in a grotto and along deeper park terrain.
Snorkel
Snorkeling is limited to the calmest edges; the grotto itself is a scuba-first site.
