SEA STACK POINT
The head of the butterfly
The dive begins along the coast, on the west side of Punta Faraglione. After reaching the bottom of a rocky cliff at a depth of 7 to 8 m, swim northward until you come to a slight slope at a depth of 13 m. During the descent, you will notice a marked transition from the seabed of rock to that of sand, which is characteristic of the area and can reach depths of up to 25 m. After reaching the depth of 15 m, you will pass by a landslide of boulders that follows the line of the coast. Tracts with strong currents will likely be encountered along the way.

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.
