SCOGLIO DELLA CANNA
The itinerary of minnows, sea slugs and blennies
The Scoglio della Canna dive takes place at a modest depth, and involves the circumnavigation of the sea stack while remaining close to the wall. The wall, in fact, descends perpendicularly to a shoal at a 25 metre depth, where piles of rocks and boulders lie huddled around the foot of the stack itself.

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.

THE RAS JEDIR SHIPWRECK
The shipwreck dive suitable for all skill levels
The shipwreck site is located almost at the centre of Cala Tramontana. The dive begins over a seabed 12 m in depth, which gently slopes down to a sandy plateau at a depth of about 7 m, where the outline of the wreck can be seen in the distance. 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.
