Isola Foradada Punta Timone is a boat-access wall dive near Alghero.
Isola Foradada Punta Timone is a boat-access wall dive in the Capo Caccia-Isola Piana marine reserve, where the route follows the rock to the far tip and back through a natural passage on the return. The site suits controlled, unhurried diving and rewards careful buoyancy with barracuda, groupers, snappers, eels, and a lot of life around the rocks.

Safety Notes
Stay close to the wall, keep buoyancy tidy in the passage, and watch for the current that can build around the tip.
Access Restrictions
Use a boat operator and do not treat the passage as a casual swim-through if conditions are rough.
Legal Notes
Follow Capo Caccia-Isola Piana marine reserve rules and operator guidance.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Scuba is the right way to work the wall and passage, with a slow pace and good trim.
Freediving
Not the main use case; the wall and passage are better suited to scuba.
Snorkeling
The best features sit underwater, so snorkeling is limited to calm boat days.
