About this site

Il Cristo lies off Santa Teresa di Gallura, at the northern tip of Sardinia near the Strait of Bonifacio, in the province of Olbia-Tempio. This coastline is known for its granite formations and clear waters where the Tyrrhenian meets the strait, with boats typically launching from the harbor at Santa Teresa di Gallura. The site is rated a beginner dive, though it sits in an exposed stretch of sea and is not always accessible in poor weather. Divers have reported damselfish, grouper, moray eels, and nudibranchs among the rocks here.
