We are inside a beautiful area formed by pines and eucalyptus in the residential complex "Le Farfalle" (Butterflies) in Capo Coda Cavallo, just a few steps from the beach where you embark. The dive sites in the park are located between 5 and 15 minutes of navigation, giving the possibility of single dives if requested. Whoever decides to stay at the beach, while the group is diving, can enjoy the panorama of Tavolara, crystal clear water, and the ivory sand. The bay has 2-protected areas in the sea perfect for casual diving and for children. The beach has available all typical services (kiosk, pedal boats, sunbeds, and umbrellas).

Within the centre there are several well organized spaces such as the classroom for educational activities, locked areas for the scuba equipment and small private boxes to store personal belongings during the dive.

The dive centre includes a platform to prepare for diving and 20 square meters with 3 sweet water tanks for rinsing equipment. There are practical locked areas for drying the personal wetsuits and 30 private baskets to pack the rest of the scuba gear overnight if required.

A welcoming front porch has become over the years a friendly hangout for the divers before and after the excursions.
is available with FAX and printer. The HD monitor gives you the ability to see our blu-ray movies and personal photos.

The interactive map above shows our most frequent dive sites, click on the flags to see the detailed description.

The map also shows the approximate boundaries of the Marine Protected Area subdivision areas, for further details please see the official map.

Even with strong winds there is always a place to dive thanks to the small outlying islands and protected bays.

There are strict park regulations to follow so please ask how to comply. The Marine Reserve has buoys for easy dive entry and exit.

However there are many other sites that can be explored and known only to the more experienced divers.

Also, outside the Marine Protected Area, it is very exciting to visit Capo Figari with some easy caves. Red areas of the map cannot be visited!!!

Capo Figari - il Sifone (the Syphon)
depth: 0 to -30 mt
difficulty: east to intermediate, need good buoyancy, and comfort in caves
currents: none
type: wall and cave
This is usually the second dive during our excursions to Capo Figari. Often we combine this dive with the other exciting dive close to where we left the boat, “the Shrimps' Grotto”. Cave entrance is easily seen at about -20m with two different areas to explore before swimming towards the surface into a large chamber that has breathing air space. The group goes up in pairs, slowly, and all meet in the chamber for some vault exploration and to comment on the surprising life discovered below. There are many interesting holes filled with shrimps, lobsters, crabs. Outside we enjoy the scenic rock formations and look out in the blue for some mobula that may “fly” by.
Capo Figari – Sa Mama Chiatta
depth: 0 to -35 mt
difficulty: easy to advanced
currents: none
type: wall, arch, and large rocks
This is an exciting dive. Its name comes from the large rock, resembling a big mama, where we moore the boat. Below the mooring on a plateau we start swimming south to reach a big drop in the rock formations before heading toward a large arch. The arch is the perfect refuge for large lobsters and conger eels. It is at a depth of about -30m so after a few minutes we have to continue on to the many crevices that will let us ascend slowly while discovering more conger eels, beautiful nudibranch and some scared grouper (fishing is allowed in this area!), As we reach the wall of Capo Figari we find more holes in the mountain, hidden passages, beautiful light games and more life in the fissures. It seems there is an infinite amount of holes to discover and soon we realize we are running out of time (!). Water in this tract of the sea is very clear and in the blue some pelagic fish may be seen passing by. Definitely one of the best or maybe the best site in Capo Figari!
Capo Figari -  Grotta dei Gamberi (Shrimps' Grotto)
depth: 0 to -30 mt
difficulty: easy but need good buoyancy, and comfort in caves
currents: none
type: wall, cave, and large rocks
The entrance is narrow and impossible to see unless you know it's there, at about -12m, but after only a couple of metres inside you will see its extension of about 30m into the mountain. Here we see a big Cerianthus at the entrance and being careful not to raise any debris we start swimming toward the exit at about -6m. We always encounter various types of shrimps, rock and slipper lobsters and some crabs in the vaults. As we swim outside the cave we find fissures in the rocks hiding a large conger eel and some holes hiding the eggs of a squid. The many rounded large rocks at shallow depth offer us the opportunity to do our safety decompression while enjoying more diving and surprises from this beautiful varied site. It is like doing two dives in one!
