Sicchitedda
The deep cave
You can already see the ledge to the south from the boat. After rapidly descending to reach the sea floor at a depth of 18 m, you will find yourself in front of a wall with numerous holes and crevices at the base, followed by a landslide populated by numerous fish species. From the rocky ridge, at a depth of approximately 25 metres, you will pass through a gradually widening channel between a rock on the left and the edge of the ridge itself. To the left you will find two large boulders covered with the vegetation typical of the area. To the west, at the depth of 27 m, a large split opens up in the wall, with a cave 7 m deep and a seabed of sand and gravel.

CALA TRAMONTANA – THE ARCHAEOLOGICAL ITINERARY
Punic, Greco-Italic and Imperial Roman amphorae
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.

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.
