Mammuthone is a boat dive on a rocky wall with a cave opening.
Mammuthone is a boat dive off Capo Figari in northeastern Sardinia, built around a rocky wall and broken granite ledges with a small cave-like opening on the ascent. It suits confident divers who want a compact route, steady structure, and a plan that stays conservative when current or open-water exposure picks up on the day.

Treat the cave-like opening on the ascent as an overhead section, and back off if current makes the ascent messy.

Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Rock wall and broken ledges with a cave-like opening on the ascent; keep the dive compact and current-aware.
Freediving
Only very experienced freedivers with support should consider it; the boat logistics, wall profile, and current make scuba the better fit.
Snorkeling
Not a snorkel-first site; the main structure sits below comfortable snorkel range and the current makes casual surface time poor.
