Browsed itineraries of Sicily and discover the wonders above and below the water of a timeless island
PUNTA CASTAGNA
The Punta Castagna dive begins from the buoy’s chain, which you will follow down until you reach the anchor below. From here, head to the left until you reach the edge and then the wide channel that leads to the wall below, which constitutes the dive’s destination. The wall continues to drop vertically, with small terraces interrupting its profile; beyond these, the drop-off reaches depths that are unsafe for scuba diving. Upon reaching the predetermined depth, you will be free to explore other areas of rock, even beyond the surrounding vertical canyons. This dive site is characterised by deep cracks, sharp ridges, and small terraces.

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.

THE RAS JEDIR SHIPWRECK

The stern of the steel Libyan vessel, which was sunk in 2001, lies at a depth of about 18 m. Layout of the wreck: the stern lies to the north-west and the bow lies to the south-east.
