PUNTA LISCETTO
The Pantelleria dive for beginners
The Punta Liscetto dive begins at a depth of 10 m with the wall on the right hand side, where the seabed is characterised by a mass of boulders from a landslide forming natural dens for various fish species. Before reaching the depth of 23 m, first level divers should approach to the wall, while more experienced divers can plunge down to 30 m where the rocks and boulders form spectacular passages and tunnels. The north face of the wall drops down over 30 m, and beginners can arrive to a depth of 17 m by following them down. With the wall on the left hand side, you can make out a cave about 15 m away, with a 2 m high entrance. Inside, you will find a small statue of the Virgin Mary. Outside the cave there are small canyons. These can be followed to a terrace, where you can turn left to return to the dive site.
