Browsed itineraries of Sicily and discover the wonders above and below the water of a timeless island
Giafante
Not far from the Secca Giafante shoal, two different itineraries can be found: the first involves the circumnavigation of the entire sea stack, and the second consists of a visit to a nearby rocky shoal further offshore. With the slope of the terrain, the Giafante sea stack forms a large saddle a little less than 10 metres deep, which is an ideal spot for anchoring and beginning the dive. It is recommended to descend on the east side: the seabed in this area primarily consists of large stacked boulders, which slide downwards to create large terraces. The depth at the foot of the landslide is 33 m. Continuing counter-clockwise towards the outer tip of Giafante, you have two possibilities: head for the large underwater pyramid that can be seen far about thirty metres away (the Giafante shoal), or else continue exploring close to the wall itself. After leaving the shoal, head back to the sides of the sea stack, where you can continue exploring the western side until you have returned to the anchor point.

CALA TRAMONTANA – THE ARCHAEOLOGICAL ITINERARY
The beginning of the itinerary, which is marked by a buoy, can be reached by land from the Cala Tramontana pier, or else by sea by mooring your boat to the appropriate float. The itinerary begins at a depth of about 8 m, on a seabed covered with sea grass that slopes down to a sandy plateau.

CALA GADIR (archaeological itinerary)
Cala Gadir offers itineraries that are suitable for divers with open water licenses, as well as more advanced divers. The dive begins near the first slipway, which reaches a depth of 6 m at the entrance corridor marked by yellow and white buoys. Heading about 20 m to the north, you will come to a rocky ridge.
