Browsed itineraries of Sicily and discover the wonders above and below the water of a timeless island
Secca sciubba
The groupers' shoal
About 100 m north of Punta Faraglione there is a rocky platform that reaches a minimum depth of 12 m. Heading east, you will come to the edge of the Secca Sciubba shoal, from which you can descend onto the first large terrace at a depth of 18 m, which features various crevices and small caves. Swimming in a north-easterly direction, you will come across a slight slope with a through-cave approximately 10 m long, which marks the most interesting segment of the dive. Upon leaving the cave, at a maximum depth of 25 m, you will come to a seabed of mixed sand and rock. At this point you can re-ascend following the wall of the shoal on the right.

ANCHOR STOCK IN CAPO GROSSO
Hellenistic and Roman remains
This location named “Anchor Stock in Capo Grosso” is also in the area of the sea north of Levanzo. From the dive point at about 10 m from the coast, visitors can see the numerous anchor stocks still lying on the sea floor thanks to the crystal clear water, with no need to follow a pre-defined route.
