Tavolara Island sits off the northeastern coast of Sardinia, near Olbia, rising steeply from the Tyrrhenian Sea within a marine protected area. Occhio di Dio, meaning eye of God, refers to a site along this limestone island's coastline, known for the dramatic underwater topography typical of the area's cliffs and rock formations. It is rated a beginner dive, making it accessible to those without much experience. Dive operators based in the nearby towns of Olbia and Porto San Paolo run trips out to the sites around Tavolara.
