SICCHITEDDA ‘NGRANA
The ciliate and the channel
The dive starts at a depth of 10 to 12 m on top of the shoal, where the seabed is characterised by rocks forming a number of pinnacles. Swim to the north-west until you come to a short but steep ciliate at a depth of 20 m, on a seabed covered with sandy detritus. To the south-west, a short canal separates a large rock outcropping from the shoal itself. Swimming through it, you will reach the maximum depth of 23 m. Beneath this south-eastern ciliate, the shoal features several indentations where the sea floor is covered by sand.

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.
