Giafante

The saddle, the rocks, and the terraces

Not far from the Secca Giafante shoal, two different itineraries can be found: the first involves the circumnavigation of the entire sea stack, and the second consists of a visit to a nearby rocky shoal further offshore. With the slope of the terrain, the Giafante sea stack forms a large saddle a little less than 10 metres deep, which is an ideal spot for anchoring and beginning the dive. It is recommended to descend on the east side: the seabed in this area primarily consists of large stacked boulders, which slide downwards to create large terraces. The depth at the foot of the landslide is 33 m. Continuing counter-clockwise towards the outer tip of Giafante, you have two possibilities: head for the large underwater pyramid that can be seen far about thirty metres away (the Giafante shoal), or else continue exploring close to the wall itself. After leaving the shoal, head back to the sides of the sea stack, where you can continue exploring the western side until you have returned to the anchor point.

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.

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).
