Browsed itineraries of Sicily and discover the wonders above and below the water of a timeless island
SECCA DELLA COLOMBARA
One of the most beautiful and fascinating dives
The dive begins at a depth of 3 m on the shoal’s flat and extensive top. The top of the shoal is located at a depth of 10 m, and there is a vertical basalt wall that plunges down to a second plateau with boulders and steep vertical walls, at a depth of 30 m. Leaving the wall behind, you will quickly come to the wreck of a merchant ship that sunk in 2005. The stern of the ship lies at a depth of 35 m, while the tip of the bow is positioned at 18 m. Continuing around the shoal in a clockwise direction, you will come to a steep wall that can be followed upward to return to the dive site.

Cala Minnola
Amphorae in the sea grass
In the water off Cala Minnola, at just a few dozen metres from Punta Albarella, a Roman shipwreck can be found at a depth of 27 to 30 m. The wreck features the remains of a shipload of amphorae (fifty), as well as numerous fragments of black painted pottery (used on-board), which have remained in their original location on the seabed.
