SECCA DEL CAPO
In the depths of the clear blue water
The entire dive at the Secca del Capo shoal takes place at depths ranging from 35 to 50 m. The underwater environment is striking: on certain slopes you will find steep walls plunging into the depths, while from the bottom you can enjoy incredible views of the imposing rock face extending towards the surface. The clarity of the water plays a key role, as it allows for a good range of action, and encourages you to distance yourself from the large monolith and explore the various boulders scattered about.

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.
