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 TRAMONTANA – THE ARCHAEOLOGICAL ITINERARY
Punic, Greco-Italic and Imperial Roman amphorae
The beginning of the itinerary, which is marked by a buoy, can be reached by land from the Cala Tramontana pier, or else by sea by mooring your boat to the appropriate float. The itinerary begins at a depth of about 8 m, on a seabed covered with sea grass that slopes down to a sandy plateau.

THE RAS JEDIR SHIPWRECK
The shipwreck dive suitable for all skill levels
The shipwreck site is located almost at the centre of Cala Tramontana. The dive begins over a seabed 12 m in depth, which gently slopes down to a sandy plateau at a depth of about 7 m, where the outline of the wreck can be seen in the distance. The stern of the steel Libyan vessel, which was sunk in 2001, lies at a depth of about 18 m. Layout of the wreck: the stern lies to the north-west and the bow lies to the south-east.
