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 TRAMONTANA – THE ARCHAEOLOGICAL ITINERARY
Punic, Greco-Italic and Imperial Roman amphorae
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.

BASILUZZO
The natural and cultural itinerary
The morphology of the coastline and seabed consists of an imposing rocky outcropping that creates a natural wall in the underwater environment. The Basiluzzo underwater itinerary begins at the base of this block, at a depth of about 12 m. Following the guiding rope, which indicates the pathway, you will come to the base of the ridge. Heading southward, at a depth of about 15 m, you will have the chance to glide over a sandy hollow intermittently colonised by small banks of sea grass, until you come to the plateau. Returning along the guiding rope, the seabed rises in large steps as you overcome a series of big isolated rocks. At the depth of 6.7 m, you will encounter a submerged wall structure.
