Browsed itineraries of Sicily and discover the wonders above and below the water of a timeless island
Cala Rotonda
The itinerary with the two grottoes
The entrance to the first grotto, which is located at a depth of 12 m, is about 10 m wide and 3 m high at its tallest point. It unfolds into two tunnels, which should only be explored by experienced divers. Following the rocky wall, after about 15 m you will come to the second cave, which is longer and narrower, and has a bottom located at a depth of 20 m, which has a siphon outlet on its face. Along the way, you will encounter a prairie of sea grass.

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).
