Sicchitedda

The deep cave

You can already see the ledge to the south from the boat. After rapidly descending to reach the sea floor at a depth of 18 m, you will find yourself in front of a wall with numerous holes and crevices at the base, followed by a landslide populated by numerous fish species. From the rocky ridge, at a depth of approximately 25 metres, you will pass through a gradually widening channel between a rock on the left and the edge of the ridge itself. To the left you will find two large boulders covered with the vegetation typical of the area. To the west, at the depth of 27 m, a large split opens up in the wall, with a cave 7 m deep and a seabed of sand and gravel.

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).
