Everything you need to know about scuba diving

The term diving, or scuba diving, refers to diving with an oxygen tank to a minimum depth of 5 meters to hundreds of meters underwater in the case of experienced divers. Diving requires an Open Water Diver certification, which is obtained by taking specific scuba diving courses. However, diving centers organize introductory diving experiences and offer the opportunity to dive even for novices.

For recreational diving, you don’t need to be an expert swimmer, you just need to feel comfortable underwater. During the dives, instructors are always present, even in the case of experienced divers, because it is necessary to be accompanied by someone who knows the waters and routes perfectly. Before embarking the boat that takes you to the dive site, a safety measures briefing is always held. Although it is practiced more in the summer, diving can be done year-round.

Diving Sardinia: the best diving spots

Sardinia is rich in spots ideal for diving, particularly on the northern coasts. Alghero, Palau, the Maddalena Archipelago, Asinara, Tavolara and Caprera are some of the best known, but this region offers many others sites.

Diving in and around Alghero offers the opportunity to delve into sea caves and caverns and admire the abudantely present red coral. Those who decide to dive in Palau, on the other hand, can explore the waters of La Maddalena, which is considered to be among the absolute best dive sites in Sardinia. Those fascinated by shipwrecks can go diving in Santa Teresa di Gallura and admire a large, sunken Greek ship stranded at a depth of 18 meters.

The island of Tavolara is the must-see destination for those who want to go diving in San Teodoro. Among the most beautiful dives in southern Sardinia, however, one cannot fail to mention Villasimius, Pula and Chia, with dozens and dozens of spots to dive at to admire not only marine flora and fauna but also ancient archaeological finds.

How much does it cost to go diving in Sardinia?

Prices for scuba diving in Sardinia vary by location, difficulty and duration. To get an idea: a double dive in the Maddalena Marine Protected Area costs 120 euros per person, excluding equipment. A beginner’s diving experience on the Emerald Coast costs 130 euros, but in this case the necessary equipment is included in the fee. Diving centers often offer packages of multiple dives, which is certainly a convenient solution for experienced divers.

Gift a scuba diving experience in Sardinia

Scuba diving experiences can be special gifts for sea enthusiasts. They allow you to discover a new and surprising world and give you a kind of excitement that is impossible to experience in any other way. Scuba diving in Sardinia will be an unforgettable adventure. And for those who have never gone underwater, it is never too late to learn. An introductory diving experience might be just the right opportunity to get started!

First dive: an experience to be repeated!

It was a unique and fascinating experience. I was a bit nervous at the beginning, but my instructor was very patient and helped me feel confident with the equipment. The water was fantastic and we saw a lot of fish. 🐠 At the end of the dive, a fantastic aperitif with typical Sardinian products awaited us. A real baptism of the sea! An experience to be repeated without a doubt! 🤿✨

Fantastic first experience!

A truly jaw-dropping experience (just kidding, don't leave your mouth open underwater) Giovanni and his team are fantastic! They calmed those who were more agitated, perfectly explained all the little tricks to safely enjoy the experience, and in addition they told us the history of the protected area and the creatures that live there, enriching even more an unforgettable adventure.

To be tried at least once in a lifetime!

I, who have always been afraid of the sea and its depths, never thought that I would be able to live such an experience and even manage to enjoy it in all its beauty! All credit to the instructors, especially Luca for patiently accompanying me on my first dive, and Giovanni and Irene for being able to calm me down and put me at ease even during the preparation. Thanks also to Freedome for convincing me to get out of my comfort 'bubble' and for giving me this emotion!

Beautiful day on the water

We had 2 experiences with the team chosen by Freedome: the first one was a shallow water dive to let my son and my wife experience this thrill which they had never tried; it was a great baptism for them!!! The second one was snorkelling in some wonderful and well-selected places by serginho which really excited us!!! The whole team was very competent and hospitable!!! To be repeated without a doubt if we get the chance!!! Thanks to serginho, charlotte and Sergio!!! Thanks also to Sandro for the treatment!!!!
