Situated in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea, renowned clear azure waters surround every inch of the Sardinian coastline making it a great destination for diving holidays. The coast is a continuous succession of islets, rocky promontories and bays, with beaches of fine white sand, all bathed by a clear, emerald-coloured sea. With a choice of caves, corals, crustaceans, shallow sand banks and even a couple of Second World War wrecks Sardinia is a diving destination that has become increasingly popular over the last few years. You can dive all year round in Sardinia and temperatures in the water range from around 15 to 24 degrees C.
