Browsed itineraries of Sicily and discover the wonders above and below the water of a timeless island
PUNTA OMO MORTO
The Omo Morto promontory is a vertical cliff of lava rock overlooking the sea. Beneath the water’s surface, divers can enjoy an extremely complex and widely-varied landscape all the way down to a depth of about 30 m, with a vertical overhanging wall that extends down to a mass of boulders that have broken off from the top of the promontory itself. The wall features numerous cracks and crevices, while the seabed already begins to change at the depth of 25 m due to the presence of boulders that force you to follow a zig zag pathway. At the depth of approximately 35 m, the boulders lie atop a sandy bottom. The dive features an itinerary that is made up of various depths, and can therefore even be done by 1st level divers.

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.

Capo Graziano
The itinerary is marked by a guiding rope, which is initially fastened to the wall, and then to the bottom at a depth of 29 metres. The dive starts (with sign 0) at the mooring buoy, following an S/N heading. After a brief pause on the top of the shoal, you will begin your descent and will encounter the first artefacts at a depth of about 30 m. Keeping the wall of the shoal on the left and turning right (at sign 2), you will come to the observation platform at a depth of about 30 m (sign 3), from which you can observe wreck A, known as “Roghi” (from the 2nd century B.C.), which is located at depths ranging from 36 to 45 metres. Re-ascending to the depth of 28 m, you will come to a cave (sign 4) that boasts an abundance of natural features. Continuing on, a stone anchor dating back to the fifth century B.C. can be found in the vicinity of a landslide, at a depth of around 25 m (sign 5). Heading back towards the surface, the route turns south through a channel full of small caves (sign 6) at around 8 m, where remains of more recent origins can be found. From here, you will soon return to the starting point (sign 0).
