Argonauta Cala Gonone

Argonauta Cala Gonone is a PADI 5 Star Dive Resort on the east coast of Sardinia, set in the unspoilt seaside village of Cala Gonone overlooking the Gulf of Orosei. Part of the Gennargentu National Park, this protected marine area is known for its dramatic limestone cliffs, deep gorges and a coastline laced with caves, tunnels and caverns — many with both above-water and underwater sections that open up unique diving for all levels.
