Browsed itineraries of Sicily and discover the wonders above and below the water of a timeless island
PUNTA OMO MORTO
Tuna and greater amberjack paradise
After descending to the 13 m deep seabed, heading north you will come to a slightly-sloping rocky area with patchy vegetation that extends down to a depth of 18 m. The route passes between numerous boulders along the coast, and arrives in an area with large slabs of light-coloured rock. Heading towards Punta Mugnone, you will encounter more large boulders, which likely broke off from the promontory above. Here the seabed is detritus in tracts, and reaches the depth of 24 m.

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.

PUNTA FALCONIERA
The archaeological and naturalistic dive
The northern tip of Punta Falconiera is characterised by a rocky wall that is interrupted to the east, at a depth of about 15 m, by a sandy valley with banks of sea grass. In this direction, you will descend to a depth of about 30 m, where you will encounter a steep slope made up of sand and organogenic debris. Following the guiding rope, you will come to a slightly sloping plateau at a depth of 20 m. Continuing southward, you will descend to a depth of 30 m, where the seabed consists of a series of sloping steps with large isolated rocks and banks of sea grass, while beyond the escarpment the sea floor is sandy and covered by debris. Nearby, you will find a rocky wall covered by crevices that you can follow to reach the dive’s end point.
