We are in the western part of the island of Spargi, about 500 meters from its coast. The dive begins at the top of an underwater rock 6 meters deep. We descend on a sandy plateau (about 15-20 meters) which is bordered by a series of stones populated with sciaena, we swim keeping the wall on our left to visit the top of a rock and observe a school of barracuda .
After passing this point, we will explore to the west the many ravines crossing a narrow passage between two granite formations inhabited by groupers, moray eels and recovered by yellow gorgonians. For advanced divers, it is possible to visit the deepest part of the dive (around 30-35 meters) to observe the pinnacles recovered by the red sea fans. From this point, we start to climb back up the main rock. Here, keeping the wall on our right, we visit some crevices rich in parazoanthus and nudibranchias.

This site is located in the middle of the channel that separates the Spargi and Budelli Islands. It is one of the most famous and interesting sites in the region. The spot is wide so the dives we can do here can be varied at will, depending on different factors (weather conditions, speed and direction of the current, technical level of the divers). The most classic and complete dive will allow you to visit the deepest area and many granite pinnacles. The dive begins at a depth of 7 meters on a large balcony above the blue. We go around the main rock until we reach a small passage full of red gorgonians on its walls. Keeping the wall to our left, we will visit an area rich in crevices and caves. A varied fauna has colonized this part in the form of groupers, multicolored sponges and corals. The overall effect is a beautiful and one of a kind environment. Continue along the wall until you reach a few pinnacles populated by moray eels and groupers. You can often meet barracuda schools there.

The dive site is located in the southwest of the island of Budelli. It consists of long granite formations alternating with sandy channels. The difficulty of diving varies depending on the sea conditions, the currents can become very strong. We start the dive by exploring the northwest side where we find the beginning of the canals bordered by granite walls full of many species of sponges. Red gorgonians have found their ideal living conditions at a depth of 35 meters where currents are often present. We continue through the wall and going up to a depth of 20 meters, the large stones that we find here (fully colonized by soft corals and sponges) are the perfect habitat for scorpion fish, moray eels and groupers. . This part of the dive with its spectacular marine environment is perfect for underwater photography.

This site is located on the most northern part of the national park "La Maddalena". We moor the boat in the area, between the lighthouse and a rock that appears from the blue water. Classic diving is a descent northbound to 30-35 meters. Here, among the many granite pinnacles covered with red gorgonians, there are several species of reef fauna such as lobster and scorpion fish. If we observe the blue, it will be easy to see some predatory fish, like tuna and snappers.
From this point we can come back keeping the wall to our right at a depth of 15 meters, we can explore the gorges, in some small crevasses populated with conger and sciaena. If we have a good supply of air, we can visit the plateau at 10-12 meters rich in fauna, such as anthias swimming among the stones, perfect habitat for many species of nudibranchs.
