Palau north Sardegna is in a strategic location for diving the northern part of Sardinia and you can easily reach all the dive sites in the Archipelago, while Lavezzi (Corsica) is just 12 miles from the harbour. Most of the dive sites can be reached in a few minutes or maximum 50 minutes. The presence of many islands and islets in the area offer a sheltered places to dive.
The Archipelago and Bonifacio Strait is a wide shallow bottom area, the waters between the islands are no deeper than 70 meters.
