Browsed itineraries of Sicily and discover the wonders above and below the water of a timeless island
LE FORMICHE
This dive begins at the far north-eastern point of the Formiche outcropping, from which the deepest portion of a sandy plane can be easily reached. While exploring the seabed, you will notice that the underwater environment of the Formiche outcropping is relatively uniform, with landslides of large boulders creating a number of terraces with short vertical walls. This dive allows you to easily circumnavigate the submerged portion of the entire series of ridges.

ANCHOR STOCK IN CAPO GROSSO
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.

Capo Graziano
The itinerary is marked by a guiding rope, which is initially fastened to the wall, and then to the bottom at a depth of 29 metres. The dive starts (with sign 0) at the mooring buoy, following an S/N heading. After a brief pause on the top of the shoal, you will begin your descent and will encounter the first artefacts at a depth of about 30 m. Keeping the wall of the shoal on the left and turning right (at sign 2), you will come to the observation platform at a depth of about 30 m (sign 3), from which you can observe wreck A, known as “Roghi” (from the 2nd century B.C.), which is located at depths ranging from 36 to 45 metres. Re-ascending to the depth of 28 m, you will come to a cave (sign 4) that boasts an abundance of natural features. Continuing on, a stone anchor dating back to the fifth century B.C. can be found in the vicinity of a landslide, at a depth of around 25 m (sign 5). Heading back towards the surface, the route turns south through a channel full of small caves (sign 6) at around 8 m, where remains of more recent origins can be found. From here, you will soon return to the starting point (sign 0).
