Browsed itineraries of Sicily and discover the wonders above and below the water of a timeless island
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.

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.
