SECCA DEL CRETAZZO

Rock-dwelling fish

The descent begins from the top of the south-east side of the shoal, at about 200 m from the coast. After reaching the edge of the shoal top, continue to descend southward for 15 m along the short sloping wall, which is characterised by alternating boulders from a landslide and steeper segments, until you reach the sandy seabed with isolated rocks. Leaving the rock wall on the right and swimming over the seabed of mixed sand and rock, you will come to a low cave with a sandy bottom (about 3 m wide and 7 m deep), which must be traversed with a flashlight and using extreme caution. Afterwards, follow the high rocky ridge, which begins at the uppermost part of the shoal and descends south-west, until you reach the sandy seabed. On this side of the shoal, at the depth of 20 m, there is a greater number of collapsed tracts. When you have finished following the rocky ridge, you can begin your ascent by swimming over the collapsed tract.

RELITTO DEI CANNONI

The barbary pirate ship of Punta Libeccio

Just north of Punta Libeccio, at about 100 m from the coast, a site known as the “Relitto dei Cannoni” (the “Wreckage of Cannons’’) can be found at a depth of 15 m. The gently sloping seabed, which is characterised by naturally split rocks alternating with clearings of sand and gravel, contains traces of an ancient shipwreck: eight cannons of uniform size and characteristics, six of which are lying in disarray along a vaguely rectilinear axis, while the other two are offset by about 20 m to the west. The total distance between the farthest cannons is about 30 m.

Capo Graziano

The marine archaeological itinerary of ancient and modern times

The itinerary is marked by a guiding rope, which is initially fastened to the wall, and then to the bottom at a depth of 29 metres. The dive starts (with sign 0) at the mooring buoy, following an S/N heading. After a brief pause on the top of the shoal, you will begin your descent and will encounter the first artefacts at a depth of about 30 m. Keeping the wall of the shoal on the left and turning right (at sign 2), you will come to the observation platform at a depth of about 30 m (sign 3), from which you can observe wreck A, known as “Roghi” (from the 2nd century B.C.), which is located at depths ranging from 36 to 45 metres. Re-ascending to the depth of 28 m, you will come to a cave (sign 4) that boasts an abundance of natural features. Continuing on, a stone anchor dating back to the fifth century B.C. can be found in the vicinity of a landslide, at a depth of around 25 m (sign 5). Heading back towards the surface, the route turns south through a channel full of small caves (sign 6) at around 8 m, where remains of more recent origins can be found. From here, you will soon return to the starting point (sign 0).
