About La Mandria
La Mandria is a technical boat dive on the Tavolara cliff line, built around a long swim over Posidonia to a series of huge boulders and a short deep working section. Divers come here for sea fans, sponges, grouper, and the return along the same route, so it rewards disciplined buoyancy, gas management, and a calm day rather than casual wandering.
