Browsed itineraries of Sicily and discover the wonders above and below the water of a timeless island
SECCA DEL CRETAZZO
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
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.
