Description of Nautilus Diving Center

The "family-run" Nautilus Diving which opened its doors in Palau Sardinia in 1994, thus guaranteeing you an experience of many years. Our location is therefore strategic and perfect for visiting the wonderful seabed of the Maddalena Archipelago and the Lavezzi Marine Reserve in Corsica. Nautilus Diving Center is regularly authorized to work both in the waters of the Archipelago National Park and in those of the Lavezzi Reserve; is also regularly registered in the Regional List of Underwater Tourism Operators (Regional Law 9/99) and duly authorized by the Maritime Authority.

To fully enjoy your underwater experience, support at sea is provided by a boat designed and built specifically for diving activities which will guarantee you greater comfort and shelter from the sun and bad weather during transfers. Our policy is your safety. Dives always take place in groups divided according to certification level.
For greater safety, Enriched Air/Nitrox can be used and available at the dive center. We are professional Padi instructors with many years of experience. At our center we offer the full range of Padi courses from beginner to professional level. PADI educational material is available in all languages.

Our Diving offers an underwater video recording service with our videographer Andrea.
There are around forty diving points between the Maddalena Archipelago and the Lavezzi Reserve. Palau is in a strategic position: its centrality allows, in fact, to easily reach both sides of the Archipelago, while the presence of the islands always guarantees shelter and therefore the possibility of carrying out excursions even in less than optimal weather and sea conditions, always in in any way respecting navigation safety.
The type of dive consists of shallows that rise from the seabed surrounding the islands and rock walls, the latter especially on the eastern side of the island of Caprera. Almost all the spots are suitable for divers of all levels: even most of the shallows begin, in fact, a few meters from the surface.

The water temperature varies from 12°C in early spring to 27°C in late summer - autumn. Visibility usually varies from 15m to 30m.
The Strait of Bonifacio area is certainly one of the most beautiful corners of the Mediterranean: the stretch of sea between the south of Corsica and the northern end of Sardinia is dotted with numerous islands, islets and rocks that enliven you with their imaginatively crafted shapes from the winds, a sea of crystalline and incomparable beauty and constitutes, from an environmental point of view, a rich heritage of animal and plant species, above and below the water.

You have "sailed" for a long timeget this far, why not take a closer look? The Bocche di Bonifacio area is made up of a relative shallow depth: between Razzoli and Lavezzi the maximum depth does not exceed 60-70 m. The extension of shallow and well-lit seabeds, affected by a rather "lively" hydrodynamism, beaten by strong currents, are favorable factors for the settlement of a rich and diversified marine life. A large part of the sedimentary seabeds up to 40 m deep are colonized by Posidonia oceanica prairie: this, contrary to popular belief, is not an algae but a true superior plant. Posidonia meadows are usually snubbed by divers, as they appear rather monotonous and uninteresting. It's a shame, because it is one of the richest and most important environments in the Mediterranean: The prairie is also a gigantic nursery, in which countless species of fish, molluscs and crustaceans can grow, develop and even live and reproduce once adults. It's a shame it's so difficult to observe them. Among the pelagic predators, we remember the encounters with amberjacks, snappers, and tunas which usually frequent the shallows offshore, such as those of Monaci or Lavezzi, but which, especially in autumn and spring, calmly go further inshore. .
In recent years large schools of barracuda have become increasingly frequent in many placesof immersion.
