Browsed itineraries of Sicily and discover the wonders above and below the water of a timeless island
SECCA DEI SEI METRI
The pillar with crevices
The top of the shoal is no more than a couple of square metres, and its sides are vertical. Upon diving, it is recommended to let yourself descend alongside the wall like a vertical plumb line until you reach the base. On the sandy sea floor, you will find two large boulders worth exploring due to the wealth of organisms present. While the seabed surrounding the Secca dei Sei Metri shoal features numerous boulders, it is recommended to focus upon the nearby isolated rocks, as they offer a richer experience with respect to the rocks on the monolith itself.
IMPORTANT. The Secca dei Sei Metri shoal can be difficult to locate, and it is not recommended to go alone, as anchoring can also be tricky.

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.
