SECCA DEL CRETAZZO

Rock-dwelling fish

The descent begins from the top of the south-east side of the shoal, at about 200 m from the coast. After reaching the edge of the shoal top, continue to descend southward for 15 m along the short sloping wall, which is characterised by alternating boulders from a landslide and steeper segments, until you reach the sandy seabed with isolated rocks. Leaving the rock wall on the right and swimming over the seabed of mixed sand and rock, you will come to a low cave with a sandy bottom (about 3 m wide and 7 m deep), which must be traversed with a flashlight and using extreme caution. Afterwards, follow the high rocky ridge, which begins at the uppermost part of the shoal and descends south-west, until you reach the sandy seabed. On this side of the shoal, at the depth of 20 m, there is a greater number of collapsed tracts. When you have finished following the rocky ridge, you can begin your ascent by swimming over the collapsed tract.

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.

MARTINGANA

The “Sabbione Bianco”: the plain of sand that extends as far as the eye can see

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).
