Secca del Toro
The spectacular rock face
The top of the shoal consists of a rocky plateau 9 to 12 m in depth, and about 25 m wide. From here, a steep vertical wall stretches down to a maximum depth of 25 m. Continuing to follow the shoal, you will enter a channel bordered on the left by the steep wall of the shoal itself, and on the right by a large rock formation. Upon re-ascending to the surface, you will pass by a succession of plateaus up to 12 m in depth. Upon reaching the top, you will come to the anchor, and will continue to climb along the top for the safety stop prior to re-surfacing.

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.

MARTINGANA
The “Sabbione Bianco”: the plain of sand that extends as far as the eye can see
The Martingana dive begins from the white rocks, from which we slowly head down to the bottom on the south side and follow the volcanic wall on the left, the circumnavigation of which constitutes our underwater pathway. The large wall is full of cracks and small natural niches, it also has a small cave known as “shrimp cave”, which is about 30 m deep. It is recommended to descend slowly in order to observe every corner and cavity of this impressive ridge. The spectacular “White Sand” feature is an enormous expanse of white sand that stretches as far as the eye can see from the foot of the wall (maximum depth of about 40 m).
