Washington Rock
A Must-Visit Dive Site in Sardinia
Dive into the wonders of Washington Rock, a site named by the US Navy in the ’70s for its granite formations resembling Mount Rushmore. This breathtaking location is teeming with marine life, making it a true paradise for divers. Encounter hefty groupers, croakers, schools of barracudas, and vibrant snappers, all thriving in perfect harmony.
For those feeling lucky, the thrill of spotting pelagic species like amberjacks, tunas, or even large stingrays awaits.

Adding to its beauty, the striking red gorgonians flourish in the depths, enriched by gentle currents that sustain their vibrant health.
From the tiniest nudibranchs to swift predators, Washington Rock provides an excellent opportunity to witness the Mediterranean Sea’s abundant biodiversity. Approachable groupers, hundreds of congregating barracudas, and elusive amberjacks showcase the unique charm of this dive site.
Whether you’re a beginner diver or an experienced diver, Washington Rock offers an unparalleled underwater adventure, combining dramatic landscapes with an abundance of marine life.

Its prime location ensures a diverse and thriving ecosystem that captivates from the start of your descent to the final moments of your safety stop.

An Unforgettable Dive in Caprera, Sardinia
I Picchi di Punta Coticcio, located off Caprera, features two towering pinnacles rising from a white sandy seabed at 30 meters. This spectacular site, resembling underwater mountains, is teeming with marine life. Near the remains of an ancient Roman wreck scattered with amphorae, divers often encounter large brown groupers curiously observing the scene.
Schools of resident snappers are a common sight, and with some luck, even more marine wonders may appear. Descend to 40 meters, and you’ll find magnificent red gorgonians, some exceeding two meters, decorating the seabed in vibrant hues.

Secca delle Cernie
The City of Groupers in the Straits of Bonifacio
Just one mile east of Lavezzi Island, nestled in the Straits of Bonifacio between Sardinia and Corsica, lies the Secca delle Cernie, affectionately known as the City of Groupers (or Merouville, in French). Part of the International Marine Park of the Straits of Bonifacio, this dive site unites the National Park of the Maddalena Archipelago and Corsica’s Natural Reserve in a flourishing underwater haven.
The site is famous for its thriving population of brown groupers, some reaching impressive sizes. Over the years, these majestic fish have grown accustomed to divers, boldly approaching and creating unforgettable encounters. Conservation efforts now prohibit feeding the groupers, helping restore their natural behaviors and further enhancing the uniqueness of this protected marine environment.
Reserved for experienced divers with a AOWD scuba certification, the Secca delle Cernie offers an extraordinary adventure among Sardinia and Corsica’s underwater marvels—a must-visit for diving aficionados.

Lavezzi Cigar
A Unique Drift Dive in Lavezzi, Corsica
“The Cigar” is one of the most distinctive dive sites in the Marine Park of Lavezzi, offering an unforgettable experience where drifting with the current is part of the charm. Located northwest of the lighthouse, this shallow site (average depth of 15 meters) invites divers to glide between granite peaks and towers that nearly touch the surface.
“The Cigar” is a treasure trove of marine life, featuring vibrant gorgonian fans, walls adorned with Parazoanthus, and an array of species like groupers, snappers, croakers, and schools of barracudas. The combination of unique topography and rich biodiversity makes this site a must-visit for any diver seeking an extraordinary adventure.

The Monks’ Shoal
A Premier Dive Spot at the Monks’ Shoals
The Break is the crown jewel of the Monks’ Shoals, located northeast of the Monks’ Islet. Surrounded by open waters, The Break serves as a migratory route for numerous fish species, making it a hotspot for exciting encounters. Divers often witness imposing bluefin tuna patrolling the area, alongside schools of snapper and amberjack creating breathtaking displays as they scatter dense clusters of damselfish and bream. Adding to its allure, a resident school of large barracudas continuously patrols the shoal, ensuring every dive is unforgettable.

The Angel of Palau
A Tribute Beneath the Waves
On April 27, 2023, the Female Bronze Angel was unveiled in Sciumara Bay, Palau. This stunning two-meter-tall underwater sculpture, embodying an angel with graceful female features, rests at a depth of 15 meters near the site where the Italian Cruiser *Trieste* sank on April 10, 1943, following a bombing that claimed 77 lives.
This memorial transforms the site into a must-visit destination for divers seeking both cultural and natural exploration.

Il miglior centro immersioni di Palau, senza dubbio! 😊
Il comandante Francesco ci ha portato sui siti di immersione rapidamente ma senza farci patire il mare, è stato molto attento alle nostre esigenze e ci ha aiutati a salire e scendere dalla barca.
L’istruttore Pierrik anche lui molto competente e disponibile ci ha indicato sia grosse cernie, lucci e murene sia piccoli coralli. Si è preoccupato di verificare come stessimo e ha fatto di tutto per farci stare bene.
Tra una immersione e l’altra ci hanno offerto te caldo e brioche.
Entrambi simpatici e conoscitori della zona.
Sicuramente esperienza da ripetere!
The team was friendly and professional, we felt completely safe during the entire time and saw many beautiful fishes and rock formations. We can definitely recommend!
Patrick and Francesco were great dive guides. The rest of the team was also there for us at all times and took care of everything very professionally.
Luca is great, I highly recommend
I had the pleasure of getting to know this diving center last October, when I did my Open Water certification. The impeccable environment, the qualified instructors and the perfect organisation.
We explored the archipelago far and wide, immersing ourselves in extraordinary places. The experience was so positive that I decided to continue with the Advanced certification.
Back in the grayness of home, I couldn't wait to return. So, in April, I started diving again with the Deep, Nitrox and Dry courses. Each dive was a unique emotion: tuna, grouper, barracuda, octopus... the variety of marine fauna is extraordinary.
An aspect that deserves particular attention is the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff. Each member of the team, in addition to being competent, knows how to create a welcoming and friendly atmosphere, making each dive not only an educational experience, but also an enjoyable and fun one.
If you are looking for a diving center where professionalism and passion for the sea combine with a familiar and welcoming environment, this is the right place. I can't wait to return for new adventures!
Super nice, helpful people who try everything to make sure you have a good time.
The communication beforehand was perfect. They answered all my questions and tried everything so it could fit into my holiday schedule.
Our instructor Sabrina couldn't have done a better job. Very conscientious, empathetic and with the necessary relaxed attitude.
I had a lot of fun and feel confident in my abilities.
I can only recommend her and the ScubaPoint team!
Great diving shop
Great diving crews
Great diving spots
what can be better?
I want to come back Scuba Point at anytime
I did the 8.30 trip with two dives. Seen about 6 x larger Zacki's, a swarm of Baracuda and some slugs. Good quality equipment. Plenty of space on the boat, everyone was very attentive. Relaxed guides. Compared to many other diving events, the day, the spots and the team are among the very good. It was really worth it.
Heiko from Mönchengladbach
Surely if you return to the area we will come to visit you for other dives.
The whole team is there to listen to you and take care of you.
Not used to the PADI Club, but a good first experience.
The Staff has a lot to do with it, don't change your vision of diving.
THANKS
Kind regards
Sylvain 👌
Davide took great photos of our dive, which I received via email shortly afterwards.
Many thanks to Sabrina and Davide, Maja, and the whole Scuba Point team!
Can't wait to come back and do it again!!
Everything, from the booking to the dive sessions, was very well organised and professional. My dive instructor Sabrina was the best you could ever imagine, as she made learning diving a fun and safe experience. She explained everything into detail in English and German and cared for the individual needs of her students. She drew attention to every detail, had answers to all our questions, was very patient and responsible. 100% recommendation!
Thank you!
The whole team at Scuba Point is super responsive, professional and very nice - we had a great 3 days of diving in Sardegna. Thank you Sabrina, Luca, Marco e Captain Lollo!
