38 Costa Smeralda e La MaddalenaThe archipelago of La Maddalena, also known as Archipelago of La Maddalena (inSardinia: Arcipelagu Madalena de sa), is a group of islands north-east of Sardinia, off the Costa Smeralda. Among the most important, La Maddalena, Caprera, SantoStefano, Ca- sings, Santa Maria, Razzoli, Spread, as well as other smaller ones. The archipelago is a popular destination for boaters because of the natural beautyand pristine emerald waters. Caprera is known for having hosted Garibaldi during his exile and is connected to an artifi cial isthmus in La Maddalena. St. Stephen’s has hosted a U.S. base forsubmarines. The entire archipelago and its beaches, which is the area of marine and terrestrial,are fully included in the national park of La since 1994, and for this reason, in the months between May and October, it is neces- sary to have a special permit issued by its managing body.

There are more than thirty dive in the channel between Sardi- nia and Corsica each off ering unique and beautiful underwater scenery. These are divided into shortdistance dives with a sailing time of about twenty miniti and are found in a marine park of La Maddalena and long distance with a sailing time that goes from 45 minutes to 01:30. We will immerse the most important marine Italy parks in the Mediterranean. With the famous diving at Shoal Wa- shington, breathtaking walls of Punta Coticcioeast of the island of Caprera, the Monks of dry or dried casings, Razzoli and Out ofBarrettinelli.
