Browsed itineraries of Sicily and discover the wonders above and below the water of a timeless island
Strombolicchio
The site with two dives
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.

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.

BASILUZZO
The natural and cultural itinerary
The morphology of the coastline and seabed consists of an imposing rocky outcropping that creates a natural wall in the underwater environment. The Basiluzzo underwater itinerary begins at the base of this block, at a depth of about 12 m. Following the guiding rope, which indicates the pathway, you will come to the base of the ridge. Heading southward, at a depth of about 15 m, you will have the chance to glide over a sandy hollow intermittently colonised by small banks of sea grass, until you come to the plateau. Returning along the guiding rope, the seabed rises in large steps as you overcome a series of big isolated rocks. At the depth of 6.7 m, you will encounter a submerged wall structure.
