The boat slips from a pebble quay and the wind carries the salt smell of southeastern Sardinia; beneath, the water changes from turquoise to a dense blue that seems to hold whole worlds. On this two-dive package you’ll make a morning or afternoon exit into the Capo Carbonara Marine Protected Area, where rocky promontories, seagrass meadows and submerged walls create rapid changes in light and life as you descend.

History
The Capo Carbonara area developed as a maritime crossroads for local fisheries and was designated a marine protected area in the late 1990s to conserve seagrass meadows and spawning grounds.
Conservation
Follow MPA rules: use moorings instead of anchoring, avoid touching marine life, and respect no-take zones; the booking includes a marine protected area tax that supports local management.

Confirm certification and recent dives
Bring your dive card and logbook; guided dives accept beginners but operators require proof for independent or nitrox dives.
Protect posidonia
Avoid anchoring on seagrass and use buoyed moorings where provided to prevent habitat damage.
Time your dives for calm water
Choose the 08:30 exit for typically flatter seas and better visibility, especially in spring and summer.
Bring a dive computer or slate
A dive computer improves safety on multi-tank days; a slate helps communicate underwater with your buddy or guide.
Wetsuit (3–5mm)
Keeps you warm during cooler spring water temperatures and reduces heat loss on the boat.

Dive computer or depth gauge
Crucial for monitoring no-decompression limits and bottom time across two dives.
