PUNTA CASTAGNA
Immersed in the white and blue
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.

ANCHOR STOCK IN CAPO GROSSO
Hellenistic and Roman remains
This location named “Anchor Stock in Capo Grosso” is also in the area of the sea north of Levanzo. From the dive point at about 10 m from the coast, visitors can see the numerous anchor stocks still lying on the sea floor thanks to the crystal clear water, with no need to follow a pre-defined route.
