Browsed itineraries of Sicily and discover the wonders above and below the water of a timeless island
SECCA DEI PESCI
The exclusive itinerary for experienced divers
The shoal’s top is located at a depth of 35 m, and while the area at the top is reduced to just a few square metres, it grows larger as you descend due to its pyramid-like shape. Its profile mainly consists of overlapping rock slabs, which create an infinite number of dens and lairs. The cracks run along the sides of the shoal in all directions, thus resulting in a maze of intricate passageways. The burrows beneath each stratification can even penetrate into the rock for a number of metres.
IMPORTANT. The diving is technically intended for fourth-level divers, with an experienced boatman who has an excellent knowledge of the location. It is recommended to descend onto the top along the fixed marker rope, as this will render anchoring much less difficult.

CALA TRAMONTANA – THE ARCHAEOLOGICAL ITINERARY
Punic, Greco-Italic and Imperial Roman amphorae
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.

BASILUZZO
The natural and cultural itinerary
The morphology of the coastline and seabed consists of an imposing rocky outcropping that creates a natural wall in the underwater environment. The Basiluzzo underwater itinerary begins at the base of this block, at a depth of about 12 m. Following the guiding rope, which indicates the pathway, you will come to the base of the ridge. Heading southward, at a depth of about 15 m, you will have the chance to glide over a sandy hollow intermittently colonised by small banks of sea grass, until you come to the plateau. Returning along the guiding rope, the seabed rises in large steps as you overcome a series of big isolated rocks. At the depth of 6.7 m, you will encounter a submerged wall structure.
