Sciara dell'Arpa
The sponge itinerary
The Sciara dell’Arpa dive, on the island of Alicudi, is accessible to divers of all levels, since almost all of the routes are right along the coast. The profile of the submerged walls is decidedly less inclined over the first 30 m, where large numbers of isolated and broken boulders are strewn haphazardly.
At a depth of just a few metres, small caves and tunnels can be found among the piles of rock, the sides and faces of which have been entirely colonised by life forms.

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.

THE RAS JEDIR SHIPWRECK
The shipwreck dive suitable for all skill levels
The shipwreck site is located almost at the centre of Cala Tramontana. The dive begins over a seabed 12 m in depth, which gently slopes down to a sandy plateau at a depth of about 7 m, where the outline of the wreck can be seen in the distance. The stern of the steel Libyan vessel, which was sunk in 2001, lies at a depth of about 18 m. Layout of the wreck: the stern lies to the north-west and the bow lies to the south-east.
