Browsed itineraries of Sicily and discover the wonders above and below the water of a timeless island
LE FORMICHE
Snorkelling amid the sea grass
This dive begins at the far north-eastern point of the Formiche outcropping, from which the deepest portion of a sandy plane can be easily reached. While exploring the seabed, you will notice that the underwater environment of the Formiche outcropping is relatively uniform, with landslides of large boulders creating a number of terraces with short vertical walls. This dive allows you to easily circumnavigate the submerged portion of the entire series of ridges.

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.
