The seabeds off the southern part of this Island, which lies between the beaches of Pula and Capo Teulada, are among the most fascinating seabeds around the coast of Sardinia.
This area has been preserved in pristine condition, because large stretches of the coast are closed to the public, as they are part of a military base.
For divers, the steep faces to Capo Teulada and Capo Spartivento provide a wonderful backdrop with granite rocks descending down to 40 m.

 Sardinia
This figure may merely be the result of a reckoning in round figures.
Pliny reckoned Sardinia as beginning at 36°12’N + 2°40’ = 38°52’N; Capo Spartivento is at 38°53’N. He reckoned Sardinia as ending at 38°52’N + 2°20’ = 41°12’N, which is 5’ north of Punta Caprara.
This rounding of the figure was inevitable once the reckoning was started from latitude 36°12’N, instead of latitude 36°06’N, since Sardinia was understood as ending 5°00’ north of the basic parallel.
