Dive Spot Guide•
Isola Il Vitello
Isola Il Vitello is a boat dive with a shallow pass and rocky gorge.
Local operator required
Normal access is by arranged boat trip rather than independent shore entry.
Organized boat access and calm weather matter; the shallow pass suits conservative freediving, while scuba can follow the deeper rocky route.
About Isola Il Vitello
Isola Il Vitello is a boat dive around a small Sardinian islet, best known for a shallow pass, rocky cuts, and a deeper gorge. The route feels more like a natural corridor than a flat reef, with sea bass, moray eels, and shoals of castagnole around the rock. It works best in calm weather when the shallow section stays comfortable and the deeper side does not feel too exposed.
