The local waters are home to a diverse range of Mediterranean life. You will regularly encounter colourful reef fish, octopus, cuttlefish, and moray eels patrolling the rocks and crevices.
Macro life enthusiasts can look for nudibranchs and various small black fish tucked away in the reef structure. The area is also known for its crustacean populations, particularly around sites like the Condominium of Lobsters.
The surrounding marine parks provide a healthy habitat for various species, including those found near the deeper wrecks and rocky walls.
The diving environment in the Cannigione area is influenced by the seasonal patterns of the Sardinian coast. Water temperatures typically range from a minimum of 14°C to a maximum of 26°C.
While the area is known for its clarity, divers should always check local conditions for specific swell or current information before heading out to the more exposed sites in the Lavezzi or La Maddalena archipelagos.
