SECCA DEI SEI METRI
The pillar with crevices
The top of the shoal is no more than a couple of square metres, and its sides are vertical. Upon diving, it is recommended to let yourself descend alongside the wall like a vertical plumb line until you reach the base. On the sandy sea floor, you will find two large boulders worth exploring due to the wealth of organisms present. While the seabed surrounding the Secca dei Sei Metri shoal features numerous boulders, it is recommended to focus upon the nearby isolated rocks, as they offer a richer experience with respect to the rocks on the monolith itself.
IMPORTANT. The Secca dei Sei Metri shoal can be difficult to locate, and it is not recommended to go alone, as anchoring can also be tricky.

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.

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).
