Boat-access Alghero rock site with dense fish life.
Boat-access Alghero rock site with dense fish life.
Boat access and protected-area logistics make a local operator the practical choice.
A boat-access site off the Foradada islet in the Capo Caccia-Isola Piana marine area, centered on two towering dolmen-like rock formations that rise from a broad rocky seabed. The dive is defined by relief around the stones, where sponges, corals, and dense fish life give the site real texture. It is best treated as an experienced scuba outing with boat logistics and day-of sea conditions in mind.

Scuba Diving
Best approached as a guided boat scuba dive around two large rock formations; plan for a deep profile.
Freediving
Not recommended as a freedive target because the main structure sits too deep for a meaningful freedive profile.
Snorkeling
Not a snorkel-first site; the main features sit below comfortable snorkel range.
