Sheltered Baia Sardinia shore dive with an air bell.
Punta Battistoni is a sheltered Baia Sardinia shore dive with a gentle sand-and-posidonia slope, a clear entry, and an air-bell feature that makes it easy to settle in. It suits beginners, refresh dives, and slower-paced Mediterranean dives where you can watch for octopus, snappers, and small reef life rather than chase depth or current.

Follow the dive center brief and use the 12 m air-bell feature as a guided training element, not a place to linger.
