Cagliari

Cagliari sits on the island of Sardinia as the island’s capital and gateway to the southern Tyrrhenian coast. While the city itself isn’t a major coastal diving hub, its harbor, nearby coastline, and quick access to the south and west Sardinian dive sites make it a practical base for divers. Local dive centers offer courses, gear rental, and day trips to nearby reefs and wreck sites along the Tyrrhenian coast; freshwater options are limited in the immediate area, so most diving is sea-based with typical warm, clear conditions in season and Mediterranean marine life offshore.
