Browsed itineraries of Sicily and discover the wonders above and below the water of a timeless island
SPINAZZOLA
The spectacular vertical outcropping
The dive begins from the submerged plateau that lies between the sea stack and the Basiluzzo outcropping. The seabed here proceeds in a horizontal fashion, and is mainly comprised of large boulders. The depth varies between 10 and 15 m, depending on where you drop anchor, and regardless of the direction in which you decide to circumnavigate the stack (clockwise or counter- clockwise). The area of greatest interest is on the western wall (the deepest point), where the vertiginous drop-off reaches the sandy seabed at a depth of 45 m from the surface.

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.
