Local operator required

A local guide is required, and the cave sits inside a managed protected area.

Boat access through Alghero; guided cave route, protected-area rules, and a calm window are the main planning points.

About Pozzo Cave

Pozzo Cave is a shallow Capo Caccia cave dive where the fun starts on a small pinnacle and continues along a wall into a limestone chamber. The route is simple but memorable, with a slow exit that throws bubble light through the rock and a marine cast of conger eels, octopus, lobsters, grouper, nudibranchs, and barracuda. It is best done with a guide in the managed park window, when boat conditions are calm and the cave can be enjoyed without rushing.
