Browsed itineraries of Sicily and discover the wonders above and below the water of a timeless island
Secca di Pollara
A plunge into the deep
Given the extent of the shoal’s enormous rock slabs, it typically takes numerous dives to explore it thoroughly. The top is reached after a descent of 35 m into the blue, and depending on the side you want to explore, you can even reach depths of up to 50 m, where you will initially encounter sand and boulders, followed by a seabed of sand alone further out to sea. From a morphological standpoint, the entire area is characterised by a series of channels, ridges, and rock ciliates, with large isolated boulders extending outward to the northwest, which eventually give way to a seabed of sand alone.

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.

CALA GADIR (archaeological itinerary)
Underwater archaeology for all skill levels
Cala Gadir offers itineraries that are suitable for divers with open water licenses, as well as more advanced divers. The dive begins near the first slipway, which reaches a depth of 6 m at the entrance corridor marked by yellow and white buoys. Heading about 20 m to the north, you will come to a rocky ridge.
