Punta Battistoni, near the seaside resort of Baia Sardinia, is an ideal dive site for beginners or for divers returning to the water after a long period of inactivity. The dive begins from the shore, allowing plenty of time to regain confidence in the water. At approximately 12 m there is a rock containing a trapped air pocket. Divers can briefly raise their heads into the air space while keeping their regulators in their mouths, adding an unusual element to the dive. Fragments of Roman amphorae can also be found among the sand and Posidonia, sometimes used by octopuses as small doors for their dens.
