Browsed itineraries of Sicily and discover the wonders above and below the water of a timeless island
THE LARGE BOULDERS OF PUNTA RUBA SACCHI
The Punta Rubasacchi dive starts at the boat mooring point, at a depth of about 8 m, with the wall on the right and to the north-east, following the landslide of large boulders. Descending slowly to the seabed so as to observe the cavities and recesses of the landslide, after about 100 metres of swimming you will reach the depth of 30 m, where there are large isolated boulders to explore, which are spaced a few metres apart. Continuing in the same direction, and after about 50 m on the outside, you will come to an overhang at the depth of 35 m: the cut of the rock drops sharply down and disappears into the deep. Before the cut, begin heading east, where the lava rock ridge contains holes and cavities that are home to scorpionfish, as well as orange and yellow coral and small greater amberjacks. After about 200 m, you will find yourself back at the mooring point.

Cala Minnola
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.
