Dive-site story
Directly beneath the cliffside dive lodge at Capo Galera near Alghero, this house reef gives direct access to northwestern Sardinia's coastal marine life. Stairs lead down to a sheltered rock platform, leading into limestone boulders that transition into Posidonia oceanica seagrass beds and open sand. The location suits refresher sessions, training dives, and night excursions.
