Browsed itineraries of Sicily and discover the wonders above and below the water of a timeless island
CAPO GROSSO
From the point at which it plunges to the bottom (at a depth 50 m), by placing yourself in neutral buoyancy about ten metres up, you can explore a flat section with a few scattered boulders that interrupts the cliff’s vertical progression. Since the depth of the seabed renders it inaccessible, our focus must be limited to exploring the wall itself. Re-ascending vertically, you will return to a depth that is more well-suited to sport diving, where a wide range of rock-dwelling fish and shellfish can be found among the cracks.

CALA TRAMONTANA – THE ARCHAEOLOGICAL ITINERARY
The beginning of the itinerary, which is marked by a buoy, can be reached by land from the Cala Tramontana pier, or else by sea by mooring your boat to the appropriate float. The itinerary begins at a depth of about 8 m, on a seabed covered with sea grass that slopes down to a sandy plateau.

THE RAS JEDIR SHIPWRECK
The shipwreck site is located almost at the centre of Cala Tramontana. The dive begins over a seabed 12 m in depth, which gently slopes down to a sandy plateau at a depth of about 7 m, where the outline of the wreck can be seen in the distance. The stern of the steel Libyan vessel, which was sunk in 2001, lies at a depth of about 18 m. Layout of the wreck: the stern lies to the north-west and the bow lies to the south-east.
