Capo Galera Diving Center

Perched in a white villa on the cliffs near Alghero, Sardinia, Capo Galera Diving Center is a PADI 5 Star IDC Resort that feels wonderfully far from everything. With a waterfront location, its own house reef and a team of 9 PADI instructors, it's a place to experience the Mediterranean at its very best — whether you're an experienced diver or about to take your first breath underwater.

Courses, sites and who it suits

Eight courses and activities span every level, from PADI Discover Scuba Diving and the Open Water Diver course through to Advanced Open Water and Enriched Air (Nitrox). Half-day dive trips run morning and afternoon, starting from USD 77, while refresher sessions help returning divers shake off the rust.

Local dive sites lean into the area's famous underwater topography, including the Nereo Cave & Arches of Nereo, Stalattiti Cave, Falco Cave, The Colonnade, The Canyon and the Capo Galera House Reef. With an onsite training pool, classroom, onsite accommodation and five spoken languages — English, Spanish, French, German and Italian — it suits beginners and seasoned divers alike.
