Browsed itineraries of Sicily and discover the wonders above and below the water of a timeless island
Sicchitedda
You can already see the ledge to the south from the boat. After rapidly descending to reach the sea floor at a depth of 18 m, you will find yourself in front of a wall with numerous holes and crevices at the base, followed by a landslide populated by numerous fish species. From the rocky ridge, at a depth of approximately 25 metres, you will pass through a gradually widening channel between a rock on the left and the edge of the ridge itself. To the left you will find two large boulders covered with the vegetation typical of the area. To the west, at the depth of 27 m, a large split opens up in the wall, with a cave 7 m deep and a seabed of sand and gravel.

MARTINGANA
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).
