PUNTA LIBECCIO
The outcroppings of coral and sponges
The dive begins at about 50 m from the shore, and just over 100 m from the boundary of reserve zone B. Descending along the anchor line of the boat, which is moored just beyond the main ridge of the outcropping itself, you will come to a detritus seabed at a depth of 15 m. From here, you will begin swimming over low rocks until you reach the boulders of a narrow landslide. Continue following the low ridges of rocks, which alternate with the boulders of the landslide to create a widely varied seabed. Changing direction to head north-west, you will proceed towards the numerous passages between the high rocks. After reaching the dive’s maximum depth of 23 m, it is time to return to the anchor. During this last part of the route, you will pass over a rocky stretch with pebbles and bivalves where the above-surface part of Punta Libeccio extends.

ANCHOR STOCK IN CAPO GROSSO
Hellenistic and Roman remains
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.
