Browsed itineraries of Sicily and discover the wonders above and below the water of a timeless island
ORLATA SAN SIMONE
The sea fan colonies
This itinerary is characterised by beautiful and extremely colourful sloping walls full of ravines. The descent into the blue leads to a plateau 19 m in depth. The top part of the ridge is located at about 27 m in depth, on a slightly sloping rocky platform that becomes sub-vertical as you descend. At about 37 m in depth, you will come to the rocks on the seabed that mark the point for changing direction. Here it is necessary to swim between a vertical wall and the edge in a channel-like feature

Cala Minnola
Amphorae in the sea grass
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.
