Punta Arresto

Punta Arresto is an advanced dive site off Sardinia's eastern coast, where a rocky promontory creates a dramatic underwater wall plunging into deep blue water. The sheer walls are covered in Mediterranean gorgonians, bright sponges, and dense colonies of golden zoanthids. Strong currents sweeping the point attract large pelagic species including amberjack, barracuda, and occasionally eagle rays. The crystal-clear Sardinian waters often provide visibility exceeding 25 meters, allowing divers to appreciate the full scale of this impressive coastal drop-off and its rich resident marine community.
