Browsed itineraries of Sicily and discover the wonders above and below the water of a timeless island
Strombolicchio
The dive begins on a short shoal opposite the island of Stromboli. The northern wall descends vertically, and the rock has numerous crevices. The wall to the west consists of various drop-offs and extends down to a depth of 18 m. The cavities in the southwest can be reached by following the side facing the island, which consists of a light-coloured wall with a large vertical cave between 2 and 15 m in depth. Below a platform, you can make out a large multi-faceted rock. The Terraces are located along the south-east wall, where a large balcony can be found at the depth of 14 m. Continuing ahead, the remainder of the descent consists of a series of terraces.

Cala Minnola
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 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).
