Diving: Clear water & underwater discoveries
The Mediterranean island is one of the most popular regions for divers.
This is particularly favored by the clear water in the coastal regions.
This allows for particularly clear underwater visibility.
Two special places for this are the aforementioned Maddalena archipelago and the sea below the coastal town of Alghero.
For adventurers, there are extensive caves to explore, history buffs will find shipwrecks and sunken cities and amateur biologists can marvel at a variety of animals, plants and corals.
That’s why Sardinia is so popular with divers:
- Clear water & clear visibility in the sea
- Adventures exploring caves
- Shipwrecks & sunken cities
- Variety of animals, plants and corals
Two of the most popular hotspots for divers:
- Maddalena archipelago, a group of islands with lots of nature off the east coast
- Alghero, a coastal town on the west coast with nearby caves
Both beginners and advanced divers can dive in Sardinia.

Swimming: Calm seawater for everyone
Surrounded by the almost clear waters of the coastal regions, swimming and bathing are particularly fun.
You can relax and enjoy nature in the water.
The waters of the Mediterranean are generally quite calm, especially in summer, with hardly any waves, so they offer good conditions for a few laps.
The water should therefore also be manageable for less experienced swimmers and children.
Due to the mild climate, many athletes also come to Sardinia to train for competitions.
That’s why swimming on the Sardinian coast is worthwhile:
- Clear water with lots of nature experiences
- Calm Mediterranean water (hardly any waves)
- Also suitable for swimming beginners & children
- Even athletes train here (good climate)
