Spargi shoal with gorgonians and current-driven structure.
A local operator is the practical way to manage the offshore Spargi drop and the current-sensitive route.
Open-water Spargi shoal where granite boulders, red gorgonians, and a current-prone channel create a long, fish-rich boat dive.

Depth range, seasonality, and planning context.
Reported Depth
6m - 25m
Depth Note
The shallow top sits around 6m and the main route runs in the mid-20s, with some longer route descriptions pushing deeper into the shoal.
Best Season
Late spring through early autumn, especially in calmer June-to-September windows.
Typical Conditions
Granite boulders, tafoni, red gorgonians, and an exposed channel with current. The dive is long and rewarding when the sea is settled.
Hazards, restrictions, and access requirements.
Key Hazards
Safety Notes
Plan for buoyancy control in current and keep the group together as the route opens into the channel. Treat the site as a boat dive that changes quickly with sea state.
Access Restrictions
Plan the dive as a Spargi boat trip and expect park-aware timing because current and local rules can shape the day.
Legal Notes
Follow La Maddalena park rules and any local operator procedures for boat access and site timing.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Best for divers comfortable with current-prone boat entries and a route that can feel serious even when the shallower start is easy.
Freediving
Not a casual freedive site. The best experience is with scuba and a planned boat drop over the shoal.
Snorkeling
Snorkel use is limited to the shallowest topography and only in very calm conditions.
