PUNTA OMO MORTO
The itinerary that extends to various depths
The Omo Morto promontory is a vertical cliff of lava rock overlooking the sea. Beneath the water’s surface, divers can enjoy an extremely complex and widely-varied landscape all the way down to a depth of about 30 m, with a vertical overhanging wall that extends down to a mass of boulders that have broken off from the top of the promontory itself. The wall features numerous cracks and crevices, while the seabed already begins to change at the depth of 25 m due to the presence of boulders that force you to follow a zig zag pathway. At the depth of approximately 35 m, the boulders lie atop a sandy bottom. The dive features an itinerary that is made up of various depths, and can therefore even be done by 1st level divers.

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.

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).
