I Giardini di Caprera is an extremely relaxing dive. The usual absence of current makes the site suitable even for novice divers and provides excellent conditions for a comfortable dive. Starting from the mooring buoy, the route continues south with the coast of Caprera on the left. After an initial rocky slope, the seabed drops quite rapidly to a depth of around 30 m. Large granite boulders surrounded by white sand and Posidonia meadows provide the perfect habitat for many reef-dwelling species. Encounters with large dusky groupers, forkbeards and red scorpionfish are common. In the deeper section, small and medium-sized European lobsters can often be found sheltering in crevices facing north.
