Browsed itineraries of Sicily and discover the wonders above and below the water of a timeless island
Punta Altarella
The channel of the snappers
The Punta Altarella dive begins at just over 20 m from the coast, and reaches a depth of 12 m on a slightly rocky slope. From this point, heading in a south-easterly direction, you will come to the edge of a rocky ridge that initially leads to a depth of approximately 18 m. Swimming out to sea and descending to a depth of 25 m, you will come to a large channel that continues northward, which is bordered on the south by rocks forming a number of pinnacles. The rocky formation leads to a series of large boulders, which are stacked to form various tunnels and caves.
