Secca di Spargiottello is an extensive Sardinian shoal with a standout wall, boulder zones on the west side, and a masonry-like habitat that keeps the dive interesting from the first drop to the finish. The site is known for its current, its dense marine life, and its blue-water feel when the conditions line up. It suits divers who are comfortable with an advanced boat dive and want a route with structure, movement, and a strong wildlife payoff.

Not a practical snorkel site; the interesting structure sits well below the surface and in current-prone water.
