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 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.

CALA GADIR (archaeological itinerary)
Underwater archaeology for all skill levels
Cala Gadir offers itineraries that are suitable for divers with open water licenses, as well as more advanced divers. The dive begins near the first slipway, which reaches a depth of 6 m at the entrance corridor marked by yellow and white buoys. Heading about 20 m to the north, you will come to a rocky ridge.
