Browsed itineraries of Sicily and discover the wonders above and below the water of a timeless island
PIETRA MENALDA
The dive begins on the south-facing slope, where there’s a 9 m deep seabed that is favourable for dropping anchor. While the itinerary follows an underwater pathway counter-clockwise to reach the deepest area, those who want to limit themselves to shallower depths can also begin from the opposite side. The pathway runs continuously along an expanse of boulders, which have been formed by numerous landslides over the centuries. Their dimensions create caverns and passageways that can even be enjoyed by less experienced divers. The entire base of the sea stack can be easily circumnavigated in a single dive, after which it is recommended to spiral upward during the re-ascent in order to inspect all the nooks and crannies that the rock pillar has to offer.

CALA TRAMONTANA – THE ARCHAEOLOGICAL ITINERARY
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.

CALA GADIR (archaeological itinerary)
Cala Gadir offers itineraries that are suitable for divers with open water licenses, as well as more advanced divers. The dive begins near the first slipway, which reaches a depth of 6 m at the entrance corridor marked by yellow and white buoys. Heading about 20 m to the north, you will come to a rocky ridge.
