SCOGLIO CORRENTE
The underwater valleys
The Scoglio Corrente dive begins 10 m south of the outermost rock. Following the profile of the rock at a depth of 20 m, you will come to a landslide with a seabed interspersed with sandy sections that slowly descends to a depth of 25 m. Staying at the same depth, you will come to the first rocky terrace at the tip of the Scoglio Corrente outcropping, which you pass on the west side in order to begin the second part of the dive. The west side features a landslide along the wall that becomes rather high and steep, with a number of spectacular passages between the rocks. Starting the re-ascent slowly, and keeping the wall on your right, you will pass by the first of the two rocks that emerge, which are separated by a rocky expanse at a depth of about 7 m.

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.

MARTINGANA
The “Sabbione Bianco”: the plain of sand that extends as far as the eye can see
The Martingana dive begins from the white rocks, from which we slowly head down to the bottom on the south side and follow the volcanic wall on the left, the circumnavigation of which constitutes our underwater pathway. The large wall is full of cracks and small natural niches, it also has a small cave known as “shrimp cave”, which is about 30 m deep. It is recommended to descend slowly in order to observe every corner and cavity of this impressive ridge. The spectacular “White Sand” feature is an enormous expanse of white sand that stretches as far as the eye can see from the foot of the wall (maximum depth of about 40 m).
